For a few moments this afternoon, it rained on the moon... An astronaut in full spacesuit appears out of thin air in a busy shopping centre. Maybe it's a publicity stunt. A photo shows a well-dressed woman in a red coat lying dead at the edge of a crater on the dark side of the moon - beside...

Apollo is the behind-the-scenes story of an epic achievement. Based on exhaustive research that included many exclusive interviews, Apollo tells how America went from a standing start to a landing on the moon at a speed that now seems impossible. It describes the unprecedented engineering challenges that had to be overcome to create the mammoth Saturn V and the facilities to launch it. It takes you into the tragedy of the fire on Apollo 1, the first descent to the lunar surface, and the rescue of Apollo 13.

An all-new recording of the landmark #1 bestseller! In April 1970, during the glory days of the Apollo space program, NASA sent Navy Captain Jim Lovell and two other astronauts on America’s fifth mission to the moon. Only fifty-five hours into the flight of Apollo 13, disaster struck: a...

UNCOVER THE SPACE MISSION THAT “NEVER HAPPENED” Buried ruins. Alien artifacts. A silent launch no one was supposed to see. In 1972, as the world believed the Apollo program was drawing to a close, a myth began to stir—one so compelling that it refused to vanish. Decades later, a grainy video would appear online, claiming to show the lost footage of a secret joint U.S.–Soviet moon mission: Apollo 20. This supposed mission discovered alien ruins beneath the lunar ice, a colossal abandoned spacecraft, and even a strange, preserved humanoid dubbed the “Lunar Mona Lisa.” The footage ...

In August 1968 NASA made a bold decision: In just 16 weeks, the United States would launch humankind's first flight to the moon. Only the year before, three astronauts had burned to death in their spacecraft, and since then the Apollo program had suffered one setback after another. Meanwhile, the Russians were winning the space race, the Cold War was getting hotter by the month, and President Kennedy's promise to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade seemed sure to be broken.

In the most authoritative book ever written about Apollo, David Whitehouse reveals the true drama behind the mission, telling the story in the words of those who took part - based around exclusive interviews with the key players. This enthralling book takes us from the early rocket pioneers to the shock America received from the Soviets' launch of the first satellite, Sputnik; from the race to put the first person into space, through President Kennedy's enthusiasm and later doubts, to the astronauts' intense competition to leave the first footprint.

For ballet dancer Laurel Berg, no amount of artistic expression ever seemed enough to satisfy the ravenous muse within her. Painting didn't have enough brush strokes, music didn't seem to have enough notes. But when the company director announces Ace, front man of the band Apollo's Suns would have a special appearance in their new production, she had no idea she'd be amidst the King of the Muses himself.

I was supposed to be on vacation on Earth, resting after I helped Pan defeat Hook and free the realms. I didn't expect to meet Cassandra, a woman with a soul full of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. Nor did I expect my encounter with her to consume my mind. But my father Zeus is determined to exert his power over me, to reinforce his dominance and ensure that I'm no threat to him. Because of his suspicion and envy, visiting Cassandra on Earth is more complicated and dangerous than I anticipated.

Ein Astronaut in vollem Raumanzug taucht aus dem Nichts in einem belebten Einkaufszentrum auf. Vielleicht ein Werbegag? Ein Foto zeigte eine gut gekleidete Frau in einem roten Mantel, die tot am Rand eines Kraters auf der dunklen Seite des Mondes liegt - daneben ihr geliebtes Hundchen Poochie. Vielleicht ein Schwindel? Aber der Doctor und Amy finden bald heraus, dass dies nur unbedeutendere Nebeneffekte in einem teuflischen Plan sind, die komplette Menschheit zu versklaven. Und es gibt nur eine Möglichkeit, sie zu retten: Apollo 23.

On January 27, 1967, astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee climbed into a new spacecraft perched atop a large Saturn rocket at Kennedy Space Center in Florida for a routine dress rehearsal of their upcoming launch into orbit, then less than a month away. All three astronauts were experienced pilots, but little did they know, nor did anyone else, that once they entered the spacecraft that cold winter day they would never leave it alive. Apollo 1 is a candid portrayal of the astronauts, the disaster that killed them, and its aftermath.

The Apollo 12 moon mission was the second manned mission to the lunar surface, but what made it unique was that all three astronauts on this particular mission were already good friends and Navy buddies well before they became astronauts. This audiobook provides the previously untold story of this mission by those who were actually there in that era, and contains the uncensored, unedited, unfiltered, and previously unreleased interviews with all three of these Apollo 12 astronauts.

"Apollo's history is a confusing one," said the renowned poet and mythologist Robert Graves. This notion is also illustrated in a quote from the sixth century BCE Homeric Hymn to Apollo, which gives the listener a brief glimpse into the confusion surrounding Apollo's multi-faceted nature.

Apollo Battleson knows what it is to be down and out. He’s come a long way since poverty and tragedy launched him into a soul-crushing journey through the juvenile court system. Now he’s a doctor, a decorated former SEAL, and a self-made man. He’s also the guy who keeps his pack of alpha brothers alive as they tackle some of the world’s most dangerous missions. But that all changes when he meets a mysterious woman who goes by the name "Blue." And she might just put him in more danger than even he can handle.

In October 1968 Donn Eisele flew with fellow astronauts Walt Cunningham and Wally Schirra into Earth orbit in Apollo 7. The first manned mission in the Apollo program and the first manned flight after a fire during a launch pad test killed three astronauts in early 1967, Apollo 7 helped restart NASA's manned-spaceflight program.

In 1957 the Soviet Union sent Sputnik, the first man-made satellite, into space. America took up the challenge to explore the next frontier. A dozen years, and 25 billion dollars later, the mission of Apollo 11 would yield man's finest hour. For that was the first time man's foot left prints on another heavenly body. And that was only the beginning. Apollo 11 is the incredible story of how a nation forged the technology during the turbulent 1960s to slip humanity from the bonds of its native planet. This inside look remembers those who made the great enterprise succeed.

In 1957, when the USSR launched Sputnik I, the first man-made satellite to orbit Earth, America’s rival in the Cold War claimed victory on a new frontier. The Space Race had begun, and the United States was losing. Closer to home, a decade of turbulence would soon have Americans reeling, with the year 1968 alone seeing the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy as well as many violent clashes between police and protesters. Americans desperately needed something good to believe in.

Un astronaute en combinaison spatiale apparaît soudain au milieu d'un centre commercial bondé. C'est peut-être un coup de pub... Une photo montre une femme bien mise, vêtue d'un imperméable rouge, gisant morte au bord d'un cratère, sur la face obscure de la lune, à côté de son chien, Poochie. C'est peut-être un canular... Mais le Docteur et Amy découvrent vite que tout cela fait partie d'un plan sinistre pour s'emparer de tous les humains de la Terre.

The first time we met, I was rescuing her from a cult. The second time I laid eyes on her was when she showed up at Cerberus with a secret, asking me for an unthinkable favor. What she was offering was something I never thought I could have, so I readily agreed. I wanted more than just her secret, though. How can I convince my wife to fall in love with me when someone else is threatening to take it all away?
