EDITORIAL INFORMATION

Perhaps the ultimate Apollo fact or trivia book, Apollo by the Numbers is an exhaustively-researched reference book that will be useful for anybody interested in the details of NASA's human missions to the moon. The book contains a chapter with a narrative overview, detailed timeline, and photographs for each human Apollo mission. In addition, there is a large section at the end with approximately 40 statistical tables, with information such as training exercises, flight directors, weather, spacecraft weights, inflight medical problems, orbital mechanics, and much more. This is a unique and valuable reference work that participants, journalists, scholars, and all students of Project Apollo will enjoy having on their bookshelves.
