First Man
£6.89
On 20 July 1969 the world stood still to watch 38-year-old astronaut Neil Armstrong become the first person ever to walk on the Moon. Perhaps no words in recent human history became better known than those few he uttered at that historic moment. Upon his return to Earth Armstrong was honored & celebrated for his achievement. But he was also misunderstood. As authorized biographer James Hansen reveals in this fascinating & important book it was the act of flying that had driven Armstrong rather than the pull of the destination from his distinguished career as a fighter pilot in the Korean War right through to his most famous mission. Drawing on flight logs family & NASA archives & over 125 original interviews with key participants First Man vividly re-creates Armstrongs life & career in flying from the heights of honor earned as a naval aviator test pilot & astronaut to the dear personal price paid by Armstrong & even more so by his wife & children for his dedication to his vocation. It is a unique portrait of a great but reluctant hero. ...
