Description
Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut's Journeys
Michael Collins' remarkable memoir recounts the drama, beauty, and humour of the Apollo 11 mission, one of the greatest achievements in human history. The book takes readers on a personal journey through Collins' early experiences as a test pilot, his involvement in Project Gemini, and his first spaceflight on Gemini 10, leading up to the historic moon landing.
Collins presents an evocative picture of the famous Apollo 11 spacewalk, offering a new perspective on time, light, and movement from someone who has seen the fragile Earth from the other side of the moon. This absorbing account is a compelling and intimate look at what it was like to be part of the Apollo 11 mission.
