Countdown : 2979 days to the moon / written by Suzanne Slade ; illustrated by Thomas Gonzalez.
In 1961, President John F. Kennedy announced that the United States would try to land a man on the Moon by the end of the decade. During the two thousand nine hundred and seventy-nine days following his speech, eighteen astronauts climbed into spaceships; three of them died before even leaving the ground. Eight rockets soared into space. And four hundred thousand people ;engineers, technicians, scientists, mathematicians, and machinists ;joined Project Apollo in hopes of making the dream a reality.
