*Junior Library Guild Selection 2017*

This graphic retelling of the Apollo 11 moon-landing mission follows astronaut Michael Collins, commander of the lunar orbiter, to the a ways side of the moon.

When the Earth disappears at the back of the moon, Collins loses contact along with his fellow astronauts at the moon’s surface, with mission keep an eye on at NASA, and with all the human race, becoming more by myself than any human being has ever been before. In total isolation for 21 hours, Collins awaits word that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin have managed to launch their moon lander successfully to go back to the orbiter―a feat never accomplished before and rendered more problematic by the fuel burn in their difficult landing. On this singularly lonely and dramatic setting, Collins reviews the politics, science, and engineering that propelled the Apollo 11 mission across 239,000 miles of space to the moon.
