"MOONWALKERS: Not Because It Was Easy" by reporter, speaker and author John Getter is a combination of personal behind-the-scenes stories and an extensively researched timeline of the race to the moon. Read stories shared with Getter by Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and every person who has walked on the moon. This unique combination will, as Armstrong told John Getter, leave you "amused and amazed. "Getter delivers stories that were kept secret until he went to Moscow and worked directly with their space explorers, leaders and historians to help make them public. He spent hours in Moscow Mission Control - even exploring the capsule used by Yuri Gargarin, the first man in space. Getter was in Russia when Gehrman Titov - the second Soviet in space - died and became an honored guest at the funeral. He met the first woman in space, Valentina Tereshkova, and many historic figures from both sides of the space race. The second part of the book is a timeline where Getter takes you step-by-step, failure-by-failure and success-by-success toward the moon landing and space stations such as MIR and Skylab. Learn the deadly secrets behind the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs in the USA and the Vostok, Voskhod and Soyuz programs in Soviet Russia/USSR. The timeline reminds those of us who experienced the moon landing what those times were like and helps younger readers appreciate how much of their lives are influenced by the American space race approach of "better is best."MOONWALKERS is the true story of people who did what most considered impossible using technology that did not yet exist, went somewhere else in the solar system and changed everything!
