Moon Dust
One of the continuing fascinations in my life is the Apollo moon missions. As such I’m always to keen to read something a bit different, something beyond the details of the missions. In this case, Smith sets out to interview the nine remaining moon walkers and to try and understand the impact of that experience on these men.
It’s really fascinating to view these men as human beings and to participate as Smith tries to get beyond the pat responses and to get fresh insight from them.
I knew I had a favourite mission (Apollo 12) but I’d never really considered the men as individual personalities before and this really succeeds in bringing those out.
Overall I really enjoyed the book and it only misses the full A rating because it’s got some annoying factual errors in there
I’d recommend this to anyone with an interest in space exploration.
