Northern Arizona Space Training (Images of America)
by Kevin Schindler and William Sheehan During the 1960s and early 1970s, northern Arizona played a critical role in fulfilling President Kennedy's bold challenge of sending humans to the moon. From the rocky depths of the Grand Canyon to lofty cosmic views from Flagstaff's dark skies, northern Arizona was ideal for activities ranging from moon buggy testing and geology training to lunar mapping and mission simulation. Every astronaut who walked on the moon, from Neil Armstrong to Gene Cernan, prepared for his journey in northern Arizona, and all used maps created by Flagstaff artists to navigate their way around the lunar surface. This book captures the spirit of these pioneers with stunning images from NASA, the US Geological Survey, and others. - Hardcover: 128 pages

So is this just a table picture book, or does it detail comments from the astronauts over the years? Would love to hear geologist Harrison Schmitt's comments, observations. |

These kinds of books from the publisher are photographs with captions, I doubt that any astronaut participated in the writing. | |
