Overview

The epic of the Apollo missions told in the astronauts' own words and gorgeously illustrated with their photographs

Andrew Chaikin's A Man on the Moon is considered the definitive history of the Apollo moon missions-arguably the pinnacle of human experience. Now, using never-before-published quotes taken from his in-depth interviews with twenty-three of the twenty-four Apollo lunar astronauts, Chaikin and his collaborator, Victoria Kohl, have created an extraordinary account of the lunar missions. In Voices from the Moon the astronauts vividly recount their experiences in intimate detail; their distinct personalities and remarkably varied perspectives emerge from their candid and deeply personal reflections. Carefully assembled into a narrative that reflects the entire arc of the lunar journey, Voices from the Moon captures the magnificence of the Apollo program like no other book. Paired with their own words are 160 images taken from NASA's new high-resolution scans of the photos the astronauts took during the missions. Many of the photos, which are reproduced with stunning and unprecedented detail, have rarely-if ever-been seen by the general public. Voices from the Moon is an utterly unique chronicle of these defining moments in human history.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
Twenty-four NASA Apollo astronauts left our planet's orbit and flew around the moon. To create this tableau of their lunar experiences, Andrew Chaikin interviewed 23 of them, including each of the 12 men who landed and walked on the lunar surface. (Jack Swigert, the one astronaut not interviewed, died in 1982.) The astronauts' detailed descriptions are engrossing, but they gain an even deeper ambience with the book's 160 photographs, visible now in stunning high-resolution scans. One keepsake that you will keep.

    Breathtaking

    This book presents a much different side of the lunar landings, its the astronaut's stories told by them without pulling any punches.

    These astronauts aren't touchy-feely types, so this book isn't a poetic look at mankind's great adventure as much as it is a "man-on-the-ground" report. The pictures in the book are absolutely beautiful, they give a new meaning to the phrase "Magnificent Desolation".

    While an experience like walking on the moon is impossible to put into words, this book does a great job of bringing the rest of us one step closer to the stars through its wonderful layout and awe-inspiring pictures.

    A mesmerizing look at Apollo

    It is hard to believe that forty years have passed since Neil Armstrong uttered one of history's most famous lines. But largely unread are the words of a few others that walked on or orbited our closest celestial neighbor, the Moon.

    The starkness of the lunar landscape with a black sky and briliiant sun rays inspired these men to say words that are enshrined in Andrew Chaikin's latest masterpiece. He is the definitive journalist who has spent hundreds of hours interviewing and compiling the peotic and inspiring words of the first lunar voyagers.

    The stunning, breathtaking pictures using the latest printing technology are a magnificent visual experience compared to the grainy, soft color photos from Life magazines of the sixties and seventies. Many images are published here for the first time. The American flags and the marble blue Earth are printed in mesmerizing bold colors. A five star presentation indeed. Priced at a great point for the quality it delivers.

    Space - Real Exploration "Voices from the Moon"

    While looking at each of the great photographs of the moons surface and the missions they represented, I found myself engrossed in an adventure all over again; just like I was back in 1969, watching the television. This is real! This is exploration at its best! If we the people, just had all of the answers that science does.

    It's sad. I feel the government still hasn't told the public the whole story of the Apollo program; although we, as a public, know a lot. Still, I found this book both intriging and stimulating.

    I grew up during the space race and these guy's were my heroes.

    The photography is fantastic, it's a fast read but it gives you an insight to what was going through the heads of these guy's as they did things no one else had ever done. I am still in awe that they pulled these flights off. It will be hard getting back to the moon, but these guys did it with out the benefit of our current computer crunching power. If you love history and want to get inside the heads of these guy's it's a fun read. A lot of quick thoughts and memories, not long detailed explanations, there are plenty of good books with those. I really liked it and love the photo's

    Excellent addition for all space enthusiast's collections.

    The book is well organized into specific topics with the accompanying thoughts of each astronaut. Excellent use of photographs to supplement the individual topics.
