Prompted by the rivalry of the Cold War, Apollo 11 and the five missions that subsequently landed on the Moon were arguably the finest feats of exploration in human history. But these were more than exercises in 'flags and footprints', because the missions involved the crews making geological field trips on a low gravity site while wearing pressure suits, carrying life-support systems on their backs and working against an unforgiving time line. The missions delivered not only samples of moonrock, but also hard-learned lessons for how to work on the surface of another planet, and this experience will be crucial to planning the resumption of the human exploration of the Moon and going on to Mars. 0aSCIENCE (GENERAL). 0aASTRONOMY.14aPOPULAR SCIENCE.24aPOPULAR SCIENCE IN ASTRONOMY.24aASTRONOMY.1 aJones, Eric.eauthor.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z9780387489391 0aSpringer Praxis Books40uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-48940-7zVer el texto completo en las instalaciones del CICY
