In the years between the historic first moon landing by Apollo 11 and his death in 2002, Neil Armstrong received hundreds of thousands of cards and letters from all over the world. Dear Neil Armstrong publishes a careful sampling of these letters.

The international prestige of winning the Moon Race cannot be understated, and Gus Grissom played a pivotal and enduring role in securing that legacy for the US. Drawing on extensive interviews with fellow astronauts, NASA engineers, family members, and friends of Grissom, George Leopold places Grissom's life and career in the context of the Cold War and the history of human spaceflight.
