Beskrivning

When the Earth disappears behind the moon, Collins loses contact with his fellow astronauts on the moon’s surface, with mission control at NASA, and with the entire human race, becoming more alone 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 return to the orbiter—a feat never accomplished before and rendered more problematic by the fuel burn of their difficult landing. In 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.Fountas & Pinnell Text Level U

Recensioner i media

"While Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin arehousehold names, “the only thing most people know about Michael Collins is thathe didn’t get to walk on the moon.” Irvine and Bishop aim to remedy that withthis graphic biography, which traces Collins’s upbringing and NASA careerthrough his selection for the Apollo 11 mission and his life afterward.Bishop works in a rough, schematic style, and his liberal use of swaths ofblack, accented with violet, makes the vastness of space felt in nearly everypanel."
