Publisher's Summary
Winner of the Gold Science & Technology trophy at the 2020 New York Festivals Radio Awards
The 1960s space race captured our imaginations and our dreams. Today’s efforts to revitalize and expand space travel is being driven not just by government agencies such as NASA, but also by visionaries such as Richard Branson (Virgin Galactic), Elon Musk (SpaceX), and Jeff Bezos (Blue Origin).
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1969 moon landing, this major documentary-drama series brings to life the past, present, and future of man’s exploration of space. Between 1969 and 1972, twelve Americans walked on the moon. You’ll get to experience the thrill of that era and much, much more.
Narrated by Kate Mulgrew (Emmy Award and Golden Globe nominee for Orange Is the New Black; Obie Award winner for Iphigenia 2.0); TV: Star Trek: Voyager, film: Star Trek: Nemesis), The Space Race uses actual audio, original interviews, dramatic reconstructions, and first-hand accounts to tell the story of mankind’s first amazing steps off our world and onto the lunar surface.
With unprecedented access, The Space Race takes listeners to Virgin Galactic’s space program in the Mojave Desert, features conversations with Buzz Aldrin, Gene Cernan, Sergei Krikalev, Tim Peake, and numerous key players at mission control. This Audible Original and takes you behind the scenes to see how these exciting adventures in outer space came to be.

Humanity in space
One of the best books. Unbelievable journey to the past and future. Must listen to all who are interested in space and the universe! This book shows us what we as human beings can achieve by working together towards one goal instead of fighting each other...

Great!
Great audio book. Very entertaining and does a good job covering the topic content. Learned about several incidents in the Russian space program I was not aware of.
Love the narrator!

Snooze
Save you money ... this book is a disaster. Uninteresting from the very beginning. This may be the first of over 100 books that I don’t finish in the last year.
