Although the initial 1959 group became known as the legendary pioneering Mercury astronauts, the astronauts of Groups 2 and 3 gave us many household names. Sixteen astronauts from both groups traveled to the Moon in Project Apollo, with several actually walking on the Moon, one of them being Neil Armstrong. .This book draws on interviews to tell the astronauts‘ personal stories and recreate the drama of that time. It describes the process by which they were selected as astronauts and explains how the criteria had changed since the first group. “Moon Bound” is divided into two parts, recounting the biographies relating to the nine astronauts from NASA’s Group 2 in the first part, and the fourteen finalists in Group 3 in the second part. .The stories of both selection groups are narrate | | 出版日期 | Book 2013 | | 关键词 | Astronaut Personal Stories; Astronaut Selection Process; Astronaut Training Process; Gemini and Apollo | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-3855-7 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4614-3854-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4614-3855-7 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2013 |
