Description: Reissued with a new preface by the author on the fiftieth anniversary of the Apollo 11 journey to the moon The years that have passed since Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins piloted the Apollo 11 spacecraft to the moon in July 1969 have done nothing to alter the fundamental wonder of the event: man reaching the moon remains one of the great events technical and spiritual of our lifetime. In Carrying the Fire Collins conveys in a very personal way the drama beauty and humor of that adventure. He also traces his development from his first flight experiences in the Air Force through his days as a test pilot to his Apollo 11 space walk presenting an evocative picture of the joys of flight as well as a new perspective on time light and movement from someone who has seen the fragile earth from the other side of the moon.
