en Limba Engleză Hardback – apr 2020
Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin left humanity's first footprints on the Moon, July 20, 1969.

"A beautiful demonstration of how curiosity and wonder brought our planet together to accomplish the impossible." - Dagogo Altraide, creator of ColdFusion and author of New Thinking

#1 New Release in History of Astronomy, Space Science, and Aeronautics & Astronautics

The plaque they left behind reads, "Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon, July 1969, A.D. We came in peace for all mankind." But was the Apollo 11 moon landing mission really a global endeavor? How did people outside the United States view these "rocket men"?

Against the political backdrop of the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union, was it, indeed, "For all mankind"? Dr. Tanya Harrison and Dr. Danny Bednar have talked to individuals from a variety of locations outside the United States, to see how this event touched the lives of people across the world.

Enthusiasts of space travel, the Apollo missions, and the moon landings will love this book. These previously untold stories reveal the impact of the moon landings around the globe, and what having a "man on the moon" meant to the international community.

In this exciting book...

  • Find interviews with eight non-Americans to get their perspectives
  • Be inspired by their memories of the event
  • Learn more about one of the most historic events in human history

If you liked A Man on the Moon, Rocket Men or First Man, you will love For All Humankind.

Notă biografică

Dr. Tanya Harrison calls herself a ¿professional martian.¿ She has spent over a decade working as a scientist and in mission operations on multiple NASA Mars missions, including the Curiosity and Opportunity rovers. Her specialty lies in geomorphology: the study of a planet¿s evolution based on its surface features. Before Mars however, Tanya had her head in the stars as an astronomer studying the metal content of star clusters and recurring novae systems. She holds a Ph.D. in Geology from the University of Western Ontario, a Masters in Earth and Environmental Sciences from Wesleyan University, and a B.Sc. in Astronomy and Physics from the University of Washington. Currently she is the Director of Research for Arizona State University¿s Space Technology and Science (¿NewSpace¿) Initiative. Tanya is also an advocate for advancing the status of women in science and for accessibility in the geosciences. You can find her prolifically tweeting about the Red Planet-and her experiences with both #WomenInSTEM and #DisabledInSTEM-as @tanyaofmars.
