Audie Award, History/Biography, 2016. On the night of July 20, 1969, our world changed forever when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. Based on in-depth interviews with 23 of the 24 moon voyagers, as well as those who struggled to get the program moving, A Man on the Moon conveys every aspect of the Apollo missions with breathtaking immediacy and stunning detail.

Great record of the Apollo missions
Revisado: 10-22-20
Loved this book when I read it years ago. Thought I would "read" it again via Audible. I must say Andrew Chaikin has become the go-to authority on all historical Apollo facts and details. I'm so thankful he dedicated himself to that as this book is a great account of the missions.
My only disappointment with the audio book was the reading performance. As if the facts themselves weren't enough to spark awe in the listener, Bronson Pinchot felt he had to impose his own sense of what was important via many mis-placed inflections, and in doing so, did this great work a disservice; e.g. ".. travelling at twenty five .. THOUSAND miles per hour .. ". Additionally his over use of the label "L M" when referring to the lunar module, was cringe worthy. By stating both letters separately each time (instead of using the more appropriate pronunciation "LeM" as is the common vernacular used by NASA), it revealed a lack of knowledge and preparation that became a genuine distraction.
