Astronomy (天文学) lovers are not the only ones who are excited about it; publishers are also offering a number of books to mark the event. Shoot for the Moon James Donovan Little, Brown and Co., $30 This retelling of the space race begins with the Soviet Union’s Sputnik satellite (人造卫星) in 1957 to the historic Apollo 11 program twelve years later. The book offers details about the characters of the spacemen, engineers and others who made the U.S. space program a success. One Giant Leap Charles Fishman Simon Schuster, $29.99 Getting to the moon required a million hours of work, this book says. Accordingly, the story centers on the engineers, project managers and others who worked long and hard to get the Apollo program off the ground. Picturing Apollo 11 J.L. Pickering and John Bisney Univ. of Florida, $45 Packed with hundreds of photos (some are published for the first time), this book reads like a photo book of the Apollo 11 program. The photos are moments from spaceman training, as well as the excitement of liftoff, the historic landing and the return home of the three men. Apollo’s Legacy Roger D. Launius Smithsonian Books, $27.95 A space historian examines the Apollo program in different ways: as a political (政治的) machine in the Cold War and an important cultural moment. The book explores different views on the U.S. moonshot project from scientists, politicians, the media and the public during the space race and beyond. 1. What is Shoot for the Moon mainly about? A.
