NASA Flight Controller and former top US test pilot Kaz Zemeckis watches the scene from the ground—and is quickly pulled into a dizzying, high-stakes game of spies, lies and a possible high-level defection that plays out across three continents.

As Commander of the International Space Station, Chris Hadfield captivated the world with stunning photos and commentary from space. Now, reading from his first book, Chris takes listeners deep into his years of training and space exploration to show how to make the impossible possible.

1973. A final, top-secret mission to the Moon. Three astronauts in a tiny module, a quarter of a million miles from home. A quarter of a million miles from help. As Russian and American crews sprint for a secret bounty hidden away on the lunar surface, old rivalries blossom and the political stakes are stretched to breaking point back on Earth.

But not everyone on board Apollo 18 is quite who they appear to be.

Chris loves rockets and planets and pretending he's a brave astronaut, exploring the universe. Only one problem - at night, Chris doesn't feel so brave. He's afraid of the dark.

La NASA sta per lanciare l'Apollo 18. Sebbene la missione sia stata annunciata come puramente scientifica, l'ex pilota collaudatore Kazimieras "Kaz" Zemeckis sa che c'è un obiettivo più oscuro. I servizi segreti hanno scoperto una stazione spaziale sovietica che svolge attività di spionaggio e l'Apollo 18 potrebbe essere l'unica possibilità da parte degli americani per bloccarla. Ma anche se Kaz cerca di mantenere l'equipaggio della NASA un passo avanti rispetto ai rivali russi, un incidente mortale rivela che non tutte le persone coinvolte sono quelle che si pensava.
