Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by mjanovec: [B]<BLOCKQUOTE>[i]Only 12 men in history have walked on the moon and yet there is no personal account of how these historical missions affected each man personally.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> Does this statement strike anyone as a bit of an exaggeration? We have autobiographies from Aldrin, Shepard, Mitchell, Scott, Irwin, Duke, and Cernan... with one coming soon from Young. We have biographies of Armstrong and Conrad which draw upon interviews and close personal sources. Granted, some biographies give you more personal details that others do, but books like Aldrin's "Return to Earth" go into a great amount of detail on the subject. There is also the book Moondust by Andrew Smith, which spends much of its pages discussing how the moon voyages personally affected these men and where they ended up after returning from the moon. And there is the artwork of Alan Bean, which draws upon his experiences on the moon to convey his feelings to us. Don't get me wrong... I am eager to see this film and look forward to it with great anticipation. I just think they've exaggerated a little by saying that "there is no personal account" from the men who flew these missions.[/B][/QUOTE]
