Altogether, the 11 manned Apollo missions yielded 18,667 photographs. For Apollo, each of the Apollo astronauts has chosen a favorite image from his mission and contributed commentary especially for this book. Their selections are accompanied by other iconic images, ranging from a photo of a TV transmission made during Apollo 7 to an eclipse photo taken during Apollo 12. Acclaimed author and astrophysicist Stephen Hawking and his daughter Lucy Hawking contribute a foreword that sees these images as inspiration for the future of space travel—and an introduction from NASA explores the role of the astronaut as photographer.
Complete with narrative accounts of each mission’s achievements, Apollo is a beautiful account of a grand quest.
