Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood: The story of the first moon landing in the summer of nineteen sixty-nine from two interwoven perspectives. It both captures the astronaut
and mission control view of the triumphant moment, and the lesser-seen bottom up perspective of what it was like from an excited kid’s perspective, living near NASA but
mostly watching it on TV like hundreds of millions of others. It’s ultimately both an exacting re-creation of this special moment in history and a kid’s fantasy about being plucked
from his average life in suburbia to secretly train for a covert mission to the moon.
