Kennedy told Congress, \"I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Space Race, the technological confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, had barely begun, and it was clear that America was lagging behind. Yet here was a U.S. president committing the nation to achieving one of the most challenging goals ever to face humankind. Somehow, in just over eight years, American engineers and technicians were expected to design and build an entirely new series of spacecraft capable of taking astronauts to the Moon. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Apollo Program would face one of the boldest challenges ever set by any national leader in peacetime. It was also one of the most complex and expensive projects ever undertaken; it eventually cost $28 billion (over $280 billion in current value), employed over 400,000 people, and subcontracted work to more than 20,000 companies. This is the story of how America-and the world-responded to the challenge set by John F. Kennedy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiscover a plethora of topics such as\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst Tentative Steps into Space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAiming at the Moon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApollo 1: The Fatal Fire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApollo 11: The Moon Landing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubsequent Apollo Missions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Uncertain Future\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd much more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eSo if you want a concise and informative book on the Apollo Program, simply scroll up and click the \"Buy now\" button!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.13 x 7.81 x 5.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 10, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53501842129203,"sku":"9798355295561","price":20.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/5pKBZI6JQs9798355295561.webp?v=1781634415","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/apollo-program-a-history-from-beginning-to-end-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
