Description

The years that have passed since Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins piloted the Apollo 11 spacecraft to the moon in July 1969 have done nothing to change the basic wonder of the event: man reaching the moon remains one of the vital great events–technical and religious–of our lifetime.

In Carrying the Fire, Michael Collins conveys, in a very personal way, the drama, beauty, and humor of that adventure. He also traces his development from his first flight experiences within the air force, through his days as a test pilot, to his Apollo 11 space walk, presenting an evocative picture of the fun of flight in addition to a new standpoint on time, light, and movement from anyone who has seen the fragile Earth from the opposite side of the moon.
