The Apollo program ran from 1961-72, and achieved one of humanity's greatest accomplishments, landing a dozen explorers on the moon—the only people ever to have walked on another celestial body. Illustrated with fascinating diagrams and infographics, this is a visual history of the entire program, as well as the 1973 launch of Skylab (the final flight of Apollo's massive Saturn V) and the 1975 Apollo-Soyuz rendezvous mission. Here you'll find minute details—the instrument panel of the lunar rover, for example, or a foldout page with the distance to the moon in scale—as well as mission profiles, astronaut bios, and visual comparisons like the groundspeed of the rocket's crawler-transporter (not quite as fast as a hamster).
