Publisher's Summary

This is the story of a unique American hero who came of age as an astronaut during the few dramatic years when man reached the moon. Cernan's career spanned the entire Apollo program, from the tragic fire that killed three of his comrades on Apollo 1, through the moment when he left man's last footprint on the moon as commander of Apollo 17.

This is the inside story of how space was conquered, and at what price. Cernan writes candidly not only about the program, but about the high divorce rate among the astronauts, the loss of family privacy that came with celebrity, and the ever-present shadows of death and failure.

Interesting and entertaining

If you are into the Apollo era of space flight, this is easy to recommend. Stories aside, having it read by Geno himself made it extra special. Great insight (obviously) and his imitations of his peer’s and superior’s voices like made me smile. A well delivered personal history of his experiences from Gemini 9, Apollo 10, and finally Apollo 17.

What an incredible audio book.

Hearing Gene Cernan relate his own story gives the whole experience an incredible authenticity not easily found. I highly recomend this book to anyone interested in the Apollo program and in Moon walkers specifically.
