This is the story of a unique American hero who came of age as an astronaut during the few dramatic years when man reached the moon. Cernan's career spanned the entire Apollo program, from the tragic fire that killed three of his comrades on Apollo 1, through the moment when he left man's last footprint on the moon as commander of Apollo 17.

This is the inside story of how space was conquered, and at what price. Cernan writes candidly not only about the program, but about the high divorce rate among the astronauts, the loss of family privacy that came with celebrity, and the ever-present shadows of death and failure.

As a big fan of books on NASA and specifically the Apollo program, I really enjoyed this book. Not only does it give a overview of Gene Cernan's flights, but also the Mercury and Gemini flights. Not only is it a good book, but having Gene Cernan narrating his own story puts this over the top. He does an excellent job! And it's really nice to hear if from the man himself. It feels authentic and from the heart. If you're a fan of books on this subject, I highly recommend it! I only wish it was longer (note: it's abridged, but as far as I can tell, there isn't an unabridged audio version out there).

From the Man Himself!

Excellent book that I previously read the old fashioned way. Really enjoyed listening to it, with the content enhanced by the narration by Gene Cernan himself.

Spectacular

Gene's humanity coupled with his excellence in performance and leadership make his a story worth listening to over and over.

One of the best stories of the century
