To commemorate the Apollo 11 moon landing, Platt and Hawcock describe the history of the U.S. space program, including detailed consideration of its technological advancements. The information is overshadowed by elaborate pop-ups and foldouts of rockets and the moon; some require a bit of manipulation on the part of readers, making the book unlikely to remain in one piece for very long.
