Fallen Astronauts: Heroes Who Died Reaching for the Moon, Revised Edition - Outward Odyssey: A People's History of Spaceflight Rev edition
Colin Burgess
Near the end of the Apollo 15 mission, David Scott and fellow moonwalker James Irwin placed on the lunar soil a small tin figurine called “The Fallen Astronaut”. By telling the stories of the sixteen astronauts and cosmonauts who died in the quest to reach the moon between 1962 and 1972, this book conveys the human cost of the space race.
