About Moondust

Between 1969 and 1972, 12 men traveled a quarter-million miles to the moon and returned safely. In this powerful, intimate story, journalist Smith sets out to find these men and discover how that experience changed their lives. Smith, a boy living in a nondescript California subdivision at the time of the Apollo missions and caught up in the endless possibility of space flight, journeys to the halls of power in Washington, D.C., and the backwoods of Texas in search of these mythical figures of American know-how. He finds Neil Armstrong, the first man on the Moon, still cool and confident, a plainspoken man who never let on how close that mission came to disaster. In Gene Cernan, the last man on the Moon, he finds an imperious, driven, highly successful businessman. If all of the men share one affliction, it's fame. Once at the center of the world's attention, these mostly ordinary men with some extraordinary gifts and luck have lived their lives being asked the same question—What was it like "up there"? In an artful blend of memoir and popular history, Smith makes flesh-and-blood people out of icons and reveals the tenderness of his own heart.__________В 1969-1972 годах 12 человек отправились на Луну и благополучно вернулись на Землю. Журналист Смит решил найти этих людей и узнать, как это событиг изменили их жизнь. Смит колесит по всей Америке в поисках этих легендарных людей. Он находит Нейла Армстронга - первого человека на Луне, по-прежнему невозмутимого, уверенного в себе и откровенного, который и не пытается скрывать, что его полёт едва не кончился катастрофой. Он знакомится с Юджином Сернаном - последним человеком на Луне, властной, движимой личностью и крайне успешным бизнесменом. Смит сочетает мемуары с популярным рассказом, превращая легендарных личностей в обычных людей из плоти и крови.Образцы страниц
