In 1961, President Kennedy issued a challenge: before the end of the decade, the United States would land a person on the moon and return him safely to Earth—a bold proclamation at the time given that only one US astronaut had ever been to space, for just 15 minutes. To answer President Kennedy's call, NASA embarked on the Apollo missions: a complicated, dangerous, and expensive adventure involving 400,000 people. Before the missions were over, NASA astronauts had made eleven Apollo flights, six of which landed on the moon, and eight astronauts had lost their lives. The Apollo Missions for Kids tells the story of this pivotal era in space exploration from the perspective of those who lived it—the astronauts and their families, the controllers and engineers, and the technicians and politicians who made the impossible possible. The book includes a time line, resources for further study, and places to visit to see Apollo mission artifacts, along with 21 hands-on activities to better understand the missions and the science behind them. Kids will: Determine what they would weigh on the moon Learn to identify the moon's features Demonstrate orbital mechanics with a marble and a shallow bowl Calculate how far away the moon is using sports equipment Recreate the shape and size of the command module Eat like an astronaut and make "space food" Design a mission patch And much more!

Book & DVD. The further the lunar landings regress into history, the more important the TV images have become. Until now the background story of this important footage has been overlooked. The TV systems used on Apollo were not without controversy. When President Kennedy issued the challenge to successfully land men on the moon and return them safely to earth by the end of the 1960's, NASA unwittingly found itself facing a two-fold predicament. Should the American taxpayer be privy to a front row seat via television, and would it be possible to develop compact TV cameras for just such a purpose within the allotted timeframe? Drawing upon the skill and knowledge of RCA and Westinghouse engineers a series of TV cameras were developed which revolutionised not only space exploration, but electronic news gathering as a whole. This book covers everything from the earliest known proposals of lunar TV coverage, and on through the political battles that ultimately led to the TV system which flew on the Apollo missions. The book takes what some may see as a very sterile or niche topic, and extends it into an interesting subject anyone can understand and appreciate. This book can be compared to the "Making of. . ." documentaries which often accompany feature films. For the first time, the live telecasts from the moon are given their own complete "Making of. . ." account.

The Age of Immortals has passed and the legendary mortals of the Heroic Age are at rest in the Underworld. In the 2nd Age of the Earth Realm, fifty years after the Immortal's War, there is a darkness that is growing stronger as the light of hope slowly fades. In a world without heroes, if the darkness consumes the Earth Realm, the Dark Immortals will reign supreme over the entire cosmos. Those who continue to fight to preserve the light of hope are told of a prophecy that speaks of an Immortal's offspring, a demi-immortal, born on the Holy Day when the light shines the longest, possessing the unlimited power of the Champion of Light. It is told that the Champion of Light will rise to defeat the minions of darkness and restore the light of hope back into the hearts of hopeless mortals. Book I begins the saga of the Champion of Light's journey in becoming the hero who will challenge the Dark Immortals to maintain the cosmic balance between good and evil; light and darkness.
