How We Got to the Moon: The People, Technology, and Daring Feats of Science Behind Humanity's Greatest Adventure 
by John Rocco


Everyone knows of Neil Armstrong's famous first steps on the moon. But what did it really take to get us there?

The Moon landing is one of the most ambitious, thrilling, and dangerous ventures in human history. This exquisitely researched and illustrated book tells the stories of the 400,000 unsung heroes--the engineers, mathematicians, seamstresses, welders, and factory workers--and their innovations and life-changing technological leaps forward that allowed NASA to achieve this unparalleled accomplishment.

Congratulations Eric P., you are our Win it Wednesday winner!
