Audie Award, History/Biography, 2016
This acclaimed portrait of heroism and ingenuity captures a watershed moment in human history. The astronauts themselves have called it the definitive account of their missions. On the night of July 20, 1969, our world changed forever when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. Based on in-depth interviews with 23 of the 24 moon voyagers, as well as those who struggled to get the program moving, A Man on the Moon conveys every aspect of the Apollo missions with breathtaking immediacy and stunning detail.

My only disappointment with the audio book was the reading performance. As if the facts themselves weren't enough to spark awe in the listener, Bronson Pinchot felt he had to impose his own sense of what was important via many mis-placed inflections, and in doing so, did this great work a disservice; e.g. ".. travelling at twenty five .. THOUSAND miles per hour .. ". Additionally his over use of the label "L M" when referring to the lunar module, was cringe worthy. By stating both letters separately each time (instead of using the more appropriate pronunciation "LeM" as is the common vernacular used by NASA), it revealed a lack of knowledge and preparation that became a genuine distraction.

What did you like best about this story?
This is a story that should be well known by people the world over. Andrew Chaikin spent 8 years writing this book -- investing so much time and effort in his research as well as his writing -- and the result is an informative and interesting account of the Apollo program and its ultimate achievements.Any additional comments?
While I enjoyed Bronson Pinchot's narration for the most part, his consistent and exaggerated emphasis -- particularly for times, quantities, distances, and weights -- became distracting. A book of this nature is chock full of that type of description, so it happened frequently. I found myself wishing he would just say it normally at least once in a while!Everyone Should Read This
