This volume of the Space Flight Library is dedicated to what is probably the most ambitious space project of all time: the manned landing on the moon.
Space flight was still in its infancy. The Americans had just completed their first space flights when the bold plan was conceived – and announced by Kennedy – to send a man to the moon by the end of the 1960s! The necessary technologies were largely non-existent at the time. A highly exciting journey through time, full of setbacks and at the same time unbridled optimism.
The author Eugen Reichl was a long-time employee of a major international manufacturer of launch vehicles and space flight propulsion systems. He is the author of numerous highly regarded publications on space flight and space flight history.
