On July 20, 1969, as Americans sat glued to their televisions and radios, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Alfrein did the seemingly impossible-something humans had dreamed of doing for centuries- They travelled 240,000 miles through space and set foot on the moon. One small step for man; one giant leap for mankind.
This achievement not only brought the moon within reach, but now everything seemed possible. If it could be imagined, it could be done.
To commemorate the fortieth anniversary of this extraordinary moment in human history, Robert Burleigh and Mike Wimmer, who first paired up to create Flight, have reunited to produce One Giant Leap, a beautifully rendered tribute that will transport readers across space and onto the surface of the moon-to experience every sensation just as Armstrong and Aldrin did.
