Moondust: In Search of the Men Who Fell to Earth

By the first chapteer of this book I was hooked. Interweaving glimpses of his childhood the day of the moon landing with the reality of how close Apollo 11 almost didn't make it, The author manages to give you a real sense of the era, I was riveted.

Through the course of the author search out the remaining nine men who've been to the moon. Only 9 left, it seems amazing to me that our world's collective experience of the Apollo moon landings was funneled through the actions of only 12 men and that only nine are left. He goes on a journey to see just how these guys are AFTER the trip to the moon, which I am sure is of interest of any space freak, myself included!
