About this listen
Audie Award, History/Biography, 2016
This acclaimed portrait of heroism and ingenuity captures a watershed moment in human history. The astronauts themselves have called it the definitive account of their missions. On the night of July 20, 1969, our world changed forever when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. Based on in-depth interviews with 23 of the 24 moon voyagers, as well as those who struggled to get the program moving, A Man on the Moon conveys every aspect of the Apollo missions with breathtaking immediacy and stunning detail.

Great story, very detailed.
I really enjoyed the first 3/4 of the book. The later missions (Apollo 15-17) weren't so much to my taste with a heavy emphasis on geology. I also wish there had been a few more lighter moments and humor. But all around a great story and performance.

fantastic narrator
The book is written in an emotive way that is perfectly captured by the emotive narration. The book is exciting in the first half where it recounts the end of Gemini and up to Apollo 13. Then the last bit is interesting when it recounts the scientific and geological explorations of the later Apollo missions.
The narrator even manages to make geology kind of exciting.
If you've ever been interested in the Apollo program you can't go past this book.

For Apollo enthusiasts
If you are fascinated by the Apollo program then this exhaustive retelling will allow you to immerse yourself in the entire era.
I loved the quote that the moon landings were from the past but somehow, simultaneously, manage to be part of a science fiction future as well.
Great read.

Spectacular
This audio book is everything I hoped it would be. As an historical reference about the Apollo program, it is second to none. As a tribute to the people who made it happen, and the world of that time, it is unsurpassed in my opinion. Highly Recommended

Magnificent!
Probably man’s greatest accomplishment. Such a compelling and wonderful story. So sad mankind has virtually forgotten the important work done during this time. They envisioned putting a man on Mars by the early 80’s and would’ve done it. Now in 2019 and we’re not even close to that, history will judge us poorly for this.
This is a magnificent read/ listen.
