Moon Shot: The Inside Story of America’s Apollo Moon Landings Audiobook (Free)

On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik I, and the space race was created. Desperate to beat the Russians into space, NASA put together a crew of the nation’s most daring test pilots: the seven men who were to business lead America to the moon. The initial into space was Alan Shepard; the final was Deke Slayton, whose irregular heartbeat kept him grounded until 1975. They spent the 1960s in the forefront of NASA’s effort to conquer space, and Moon Shot is certainly their inside account of what many call the twentieth century’s very best feat-landing human beings on another world.

Collaborating with NBC’s veteran space reporter Jay Barbree, Shepard and Slayton narrate in gripping details the story of America’s space exploration from the time of Shepard’s first trip until he and eleven others experienced walked over the moon.
