Get the Summary of Alan Shepard & Deke Slayton's Moon Shot in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Original book introduction: On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik I, and the space race was born. Desperate to beat the Russians into space, NASA put together a crew of the nationâs most daring test pilots: the seven men who were to lead America to the moon. The first into space was Alan Shepard; the last was Deke Slayton, whose irregular heartbeat kept him grounded until 1975. They spent the 1960s at the forefront of NASAâs effort to conquer space, and Moon Shot is their inside account of what many call the twentieth centuryâs greatest featâlanding humans on another world. Collaborating with NBCâs veteran space reporter Jay Barbree, Shepard and Slayton narrate in gripping detail the story of Americaâs space exploration from the time of Shepardâs first flight until he and eleven others had walked on the moon.
