On this day 180,000 pounds would ride atop 7.7 million pounds of thrust. However, this crew would be landing on a runway after travelling over a million miles in a little over 54 hours. This book covers the Space Shuttle through the test flight stage and on to its first operational flight. Comprising rare NASA documents never before released to the public the reader is taken inside this remarkable machine in the words of some of the men who flew it.

Gemini 12: The NASA Mission Reports $19.95 Gemini 12: The NASA Mission Reports The last Gemini flight would be flown by veteran Commander James Lovell and a brilliant rookie called Edwin ?Buzz? Aldrin. Lovell?s experience gained on Gemini 6 would prove the perfect foundation on which the newcomer Aldrin would be able to build a near-perfect science mission. The task of space-walking had proven arduous and dangerous on previous Gemini flights but after months of rigorous training underwater Aldrin was ready to prove that men could actually work comfortably in space. It was a critical exercise which would determine whether a moonwalking astronaut could survive the experience.After two scrubbed launches the final Gemini-Titan stack soared into low earth orbit and docked with its Agena target vehicle, placed aloft only an hour and a half earlier. Aldrin then spent over five hours working outside the spacecraft. His experience as a scuba diver gave him the edge needed to get the work done without exhausting himself as some of his predecessors had done. After 94½ hours in space Lovell and Aldrin splashed into the Pacific Ocean within three miles of the recovery ship. The stage was now set for the final push for the moon. Bonus: As early as 1961, engineer Jim Chamberlin had wanted to send Gemini to the moon. For the first time details of this audacious plan are revealed in a rare document from 1965. Features and Reviews: Paperback: 264 pages Publisher: Collector’s Guide Publishing Inc; Bk&CD-Rom edition (January 1, 2004) Language: English Book Dimensions: 10.1 x 6.9 x 0.6 inches Bonus CD-ROM Included! Error corrected 16mm film footage of Gemini 12 Over 430 still pictures from Gemini 12 A movie about the Gemini 12 mission Over one hour and 45 minutes of MPEG video An exclusive interview with Gemini 12 Commander Jim Lovell |

Veteran astronauts Commmander Tom Stafford and Lunar Module Pilot Gene Cernan were to fly tantalisingly close to the barren lunar surface ? a mere eight nautical miles, while Command Module Pilot John Young would be required to conduct the first rendezvous in lunar orbit to ensure the safe return of his crew mates. All three men were veterans of the Gemini program and together they were the most experienced Apollo crew yet to fly.Apollo 10 – The NASA Mission Reports finally puts in one place FIVE of the most important documents from this final test flight, The Apollo 10 Press Kit, The Apollo 10 Preflight Mission Operation Report, The Apollo 10 Post Launch Mission Operation Report, The Apollo 10 Mission Operation Report Supplement and the Crew Technical Debriefing.These five documents combine to show the care and planning which NASA’s team applied to make sure that the next flight would succeed in finally fulfilling the impossible dream of putting a man on the moon.
