Sommario/riassunto |
|
Looking back through the lens of elapsed time at perhaps the most significant chapter of American space-flight history, Robert Miller captures the stark beauty of the abandoned relics of the sites that paves the way to the moon. This book breathes new life into old concrete, providing a fresh look even for those who lived or intimately know the glory of Apollo. |
