The Apollo missions marked the first time human beings left Earth's orbit and visited
another world. Launius surveys a wide range of viewpoints and narratives, both positive
and negative, surrounding the program. These include the argument that Apollo epitomizes
American technological-- and political-- progress; technological and scientific advances
garnered from the program; critiques from both sides of the political spectrum about
the program's expenses; and even conspiracy theories and denials of the program's
very existence. -- adapted from jacket
