RESUMEN: Este libro se trata de la luna -- como se formó segun los cientificos, como es, el tamaño, la órbita y las fases, y como se relaciona con la Tierra. This title will cover how scientists think our moon came to be, what it looks like, its size, its orbit and phases, and how it interacts with Earth.

The moon is more than a giant rock orbiting Earth - it could become a gateway into deeper space! Find out how NASA and other international and commercial agencies are working together to explore and build on the moon.

Discusses the Apollo space program of the 1960s and later unmanned NASA probes of the moon and describes the effects of space flight on the astronauts and some of what has been learned about the moon.

Stranded in a crippled spacecraft, astronauts Lovell, Haise, and Swigert, on course towards the moon, were now struggling in a desperate battle to survive. This is the spell-binding mission as it unfurled on both Apollo 13 and at Mission Control.

Discusses recent proposals for colonizing the moon, adjustments necessary to support human life, and conditions which settlers might encounter.
