    This book examines the relationship between NASA and the media during America's space race to the moon in the 1960s. It describes how NASA and the press initially struggled over the level of access journalists should have to the manned space program. However, by the historic Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969, NASA and US media had found ways to work together to share the story of lunar exploration with the world. The book provides insights into how media coverage influenced public perceptions of the quest to reach the moon and raises ongoing issues about information access in a democracy.

    Book Description
    When Apollo 11 landed on the moon in July 1969, it capped not only the most remarkable engineering feat in
    history, but also a decade-long battle over how much access the press and public should have to the manned
    space program. Now, forty years after an awed world watched Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin bounce across
    the surface of the moon, this book tells the behind-the-scenes story of how NASA and the U.S. media were
    often at odds, but ultimately showed extraordinary cooperation in bringing the story of lunar conquest to the
    world. Drawing upon rich historical sources from NASA, journalists, and television networks, this book sheds
    new light on how media shaped how we saw Americas great adventure in space, and raises contemporary
    questions about the role of information in a free society. Read more
