- Synopsis
- Restoring the Drama, Majesty, and Sheer Improbability of an American Triumph that has now come to be taken for granted, this is the complete, definitive, and thrilling story of one of the greatest achievements of humankind. Through interviews, 23,000 pages of NASA oral histories, and declassified CIA documents on the space race, Rocket Men presents a grippingly vivid narrative of the mission to the moon that re-creates moments from the quotidian to the scientific to the magical, and takes you on that magnificent twentieth-century pilgrimage, a voyage into the unknown motivated by politics, faith, science, and wonder that changed the course of history.
