There and back again submitted by cherylo on July 16, 2011, 9:55pm Very good introduction to the space race and the people that worked to put humans into space and onto the moon. Very informative, with a good list of further reading on the topic.

Fun, interesting, informative submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on August 12, 2018, 1:47pm Way, way cool graphic novel.

I have an astonishing new appreciation of the vast efforts and nearly impossible tasks that took place to put humans into space and on the moon. The risks. The trials. The "Space Race" with the Russians. The innovation. How far we've come.

There's a huge amount of information in the book, but it's told with enough storyline as to be clear anyway. I'm blown away by the research the author must have done to write this. And the graphics are an integral part of the story-telling, as well, serving the dual functions of moving the story forward and telling parts of the story by showing us the environment, the spacecraft designs, and more.

This really was fun, interesting, informative, and thoroughly enjoyable to read.
