The most beautiful and influential photographs ever made were taken, almost as an afterthought, by the astronauts of the Apollo space program from the moon. They inspired a generation of scientists and environmentalists to think more seriously about our responsibility for this tiny oasis in space, this \"blue marble\" falling through empty darkness.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Earth Gazers\u003c\/em\u003e is a book about the long road to the capture of those unforgettable images. It is a history of the space program and of the ways in which it transformed our view of the earth and changed the lives of the astronauts who walked in space and on the moon. It is the story of the often blemished visionaries who inspired that journey into space: Charles Lindbergh, Robert Goddard and Wernher Von Braun, and of the courageous pilots who were the first humans to escape the Earth's orbit. These twenty-four people saw Earth in all its singular glory, and the legacy of the stories of these \"Earth Gazers,\" resonate richly even today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Potter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1643131443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643131443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pegasus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.95d","brand":"Christopher Potter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125154836735,"sku":"9781643131443","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c7e2bfcf-48a7-493b-af6e-c0beef7a8ae9.jpg?v=1687440963","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-earth-gazers-christopher-potter-9781643131443","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
