Moondust

Moondust is a thrilling blend of history, reportage, and memoir that rekindles the excitement of the Apollo era.

Smith interviews nine surviving moon astronauts, their families, and others involved, weaving in NASA history, Cold War context, and 1960s culture to capture their complex post-Moon journeys and bittersweet heroism.

Updated with a new Afterword for the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11.
