Show Notes
President John F. Kennedy made an astonishing announcement in May 1961. He announced his goal of putting a man on the moon by the end of the decade. Douglas Brinkley’s history takes listeners to the 1960s to bring together the extraordinary political, cultural, and scientific factors that fueled the birth and development of NASA and the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo projects. Narrator Stephen Graybill’s assured performance captures the space race and its part in the social and political complexities of the Cold War era. Published by Harper Audio.
