**OMG! I cannot believe that these reviews haven't been done! I am so sorry they are so late!!!**

'Apollo Expeditions' by Edgar M. Cortright with contributions by many involved in the program is a reprint of a book originally published in the 1970s, but with the upcoming 50th anniversary of landing on the moon, the timing is perfect.

The 15 chapters of this amazing book are written by different people with different aspects of the Apollo program. So, one chapter is about the Saturn rocket and it's written by WernHer von Braun. One is about the huge hangar built for rockets. One is about the scouting missions made before man went to the moon. Chris Kraft talks about mission control. Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin talk about landing on the moon.

Along with the text, there are tons of photos and drawings. I loved reading this book from the perspective of those that lived it. There is a small amount of repetition, but I attribute that to different perspectives of the same event. Timely and breathtaking.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Dover Publications and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

I am sorry but my reading app would lock up on this book and I was unable to read it. It sounds very intriguing and I will look for it when published

Unfortunately something was wrong with the file and I wasn’t able to read much of it (randomly duplicated paragraphs every other page). I really enjoyed the portions I was able to read before giving up due to formatting, so I plan to purchase it to finish reading in hard copy. I’d recommend it to anyone who, like me, can’t get enough of the Apollo era.

As are most offerings by Dover, Apollo Expeditions to the Moon is a complete, intense presentation of the facts, told very well. It is more thorough than I have seen in the past, and something I am pleased to refer to my friends and family, especially those not old enough to have lived through this time. Cortright presents that intensity of life as we lived it well in this history.

I received a free electronic copy of this history from Netgalley, Edger M. Cortright, and Dover. I have read and reviewed it of my own volition. This is my honest opinion of this work.

The protected PDF file was corrupted so unfortunately I cannot offer a review on this book. It looks very interesting and based on the limited content that came through, I would give it at least three stars.

A comprehensive tome for space travel buffs. Here is a detailed history of U.S. spaceflight to the Moon. Filled with pages and pages and pages (did we say there are a lot of pages?) of detailed explanations of the history, intricacies, and technological logistics of travel to the moon. President Kennedy's vision to have a man on the moon, testing effects of space travel on chimpanzees, communicating with earth while in flights, considerations about contaminating the moon (or contaminating the earth), areas of disagreement among engineers, the personalities involved, successes and failures, geography of the moon, photographs of the moon (and photographs of the earth and other planets)--it's all here.
