Moonward

In 2019, the moon landing will celebrate its 50th anniversary - it was the first time humans set foot on another celestial body. To this day, it is hard to comprehend the incredible technological achievement this represents, especially considering the technical capabilities of the 1960s. The entire computing power of the Apollo rocket (control, navigation, etc.) is now found in every cheap supermarket calculator; all the hardware was essentially created on a drawing board and with the help of slide rules. Enriched with the outstanding graphics of Dietmar Röttler, the book appropriately describes the events with magnificent images.
