'Apo11o: To the Moon and Back' is a collector edition reproduction of the original Apollo 11 Flight Plan Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Mike Collins, and the entire mission control team in Houston used to plan and execute our first mission to land on the moon.
The Apollo 11 Flight Plan meticulously lays out every step of the 8-day, 3-hour, 18-minute and 35-second mission that resulted in the first human exploration of the lunar surface.
The Astronauts mission objectives are broken down into a minute-by-minute schedule, each page detailed with illustrations and predicted calculations based on the data collected from tests run by the previous Apollo space missions set in place to prepare Apollo11 for the moon landing.
Each Apollo11 Flight Plan is hand crafted by Book Arts, the company that has produced over 1,000 head-of-state gifts over the past three decades as the world’s top book design company. An exquisite piece of timeless art, Apo11o is a limited edition of only 500.
​
Besides the flight plan itself, the book includes a preface by Astronaut Terry Virts, an introduction by Jeffrey Kluger (TIME magazine Editor and “Apollo 8” / “Apollo 13” author), and six gate-fold illustrative technical drawings and a gicleé fine print.
