  • Reissued with a new preface by the author on the fiftieth anniversary of the Apollo 11 journey to the moonThe years that have passed since Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins piloted the Apollo 11 spacecraft to the moon in July 1969 have done nothing to alter the fundamental wonder of the event: man reaching the moon remains one of the great events―technical and spiritual―of our lifetime.In Carrying the Fire, Collins conveys, in a very personal way, the drama, beauty, and humor of that adventure. He also traces his development from his first flight experiences in the Air Force, through his days as a test pilot, to his Apollo 11 space walk, presenting an evocative picture of the joys of flight as well as a new perspective on time, light, and movement from someone who has seen the fragile earth from the other side of the moon.

Astronautics & Space Flight Editorial Review

  • ubuy Burundi

"Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut's Journeys: 50th Anniversary Edition" is a captivating and informative read that offers a comprehensive look at the history and accomplishments of the space program, particularly focused on the journey to the moon landing. The author, an astronaut himself, presents the technical aspects of space travel in a way that is easily understood by readers, making it accessible to both space enthusiasts and those with less technical knowledge. The book provides a detailed account of the challenges faced by the thousands of individuals who worked tirelessly to fulfill JFK's vision of sending a man to the moon and returning him safely. The author's writing effectively conveys the immense amount of work and determination that went into achieving this goal. Readers are left with a deep appreciation for the accomplishments of the space program and the bravery of the astronauts involved. The reviewer mentions that this book was a Christmas present for their smart and hard-to-buy-for grandson-in-law, indicating that it is a fitting gift for individuals with an interest in space and history. The reviewer also expresses gratitude for the book, emphasizing that it provides a real summary of the path to becoming an astronaut and accomplishing one of the greatest feats of mankind. However, there is one criticism mentioned in a review: the Kindle version of the book omits all pictures and drawings, leaving only captions and empty spaces. This omission is disappointing for readers who were looking forward to visual representations of the author's experiences. Overall, "Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut's Journeys: 50th Anniversary Edition" is highly recommended for its engaging storytelling, comprehensive coverage of the space program, and ability to inspire wonder at the accomplishments of the human race.
