On July 16, 1969, a rocket manned by three men blasted off from the
Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island in Florida. Its destination: the
moon. In the midst of the Cold War, civil rights movement, summer of
love, and the Vietnam war, NASA accomplished what was thought to be
impossible.
From race war to space race, All About the Moon Landing covers the
successful Apollo 11 mission to put a man on the moon and all of the
events that led up to it. The book works through the social issues,
political problems, and international tensions surrounding the great
space race to better explain how amazing landing on the moon was.
The newest addition to the All About . . . series, All About the Moon
Landing is designed to interest middle-grade readers ages 9 to 14 in
science, engineering, technology, and math. After all, Apollo 11
wouldn't have landed on the moon without it! Complete with a
professionally developed teacher's guide and expertly crafted
illustrations, All About the Moon Landing is perfect for any student's
library.
