TWO SIDES OF THE MOON

Book ID/图书代码: 00470004B04900

English Summary/英文概要: In this unique dual autobiography, astronaut David Scott and cosmonaut Alexei Leonov recount their exceptional lives and careers spent on the cutting edge of science and space exploration. With missions fraught with perilous risks, and each space programme touched by tragedy, these parallel tales of adventure and heroism read like a modern-day thriller.
Before training to be the USSR’s first man on the Moon, Leonov became the first man to walk in space. It was a feat that won him a place in history, but almost cost him his life. A year later, in 1966, David Scott and Neil Armstrong’s spacecraft, Gemini 8, tumbled out of control whilst orbiting the Earth. Surviving against dramatic odds, pilot Armstrong and co-pilot Scott went on to fly their own lunar missions: Armstrong to command Apollo 11 and become the first man to walk on the Moon, and Scott to command the most complex expedition in the history of exploration, Apollo 15. Spending three days on the Moon, Scott became the seventh man to walk on its breathtaking surface.
Marking a new age of US/USSR co-operation, the Apollo Soyuz Test Project brought Scott and Leonov together, finally ending the Cold War silence and building a friendship that would last for decades.
Written from very personal perspectives, Two Sides of the Moon recounts the adventures of two men who risked their lives to push forward the frontier of man’s celestial exploration.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 这是两个宇航员的自传。他们生活在铁幕的两边,有着十分不同的童年经历,但怀着同样的梦想:飞上蓝天。由于出色的条件,他们俩分别被美苏两国的政府挑选为首批登上月球的人。他们与人类的最新科学技术紧紧相连,他们的生活充满风险,他们的叙述就像惊险故事。
同時成長在“鐵幕時代”的兩端,前蘇聯宇航員阿列克謝•列昂諾夫和美國宇航員大衛•斯科特,有著共同的夢想 —— 成為一名飛行員。由於這二人的精湛技藝,他們很快地成為了王牌戰鬥機飛行員,並被他們國家選中參與新興空間計畫中曾是最宏大的航太技術競賽專案 —— 登月計畫。宇航員阿列克謝•列昂諾夫成為第一個在太空行走的人類。這是他歷史上贏得一席之地的一項壯舉,但這項壯舉幾乎奪去他的生命。一年以後,在1966年,美國宇航員大衛•斯科特和尼爾•阿姆斯壯在關鍵時刻僥倖逃生,因為他們的宇航飛船,雙子座8號,突然在太空中失控,飛速的地旋轉。這兩人都倖存下來,並繼續奮鬥于這項具有刺激意味的幾率自主登月任務:阿姆斯壯負責指揮阿波羅11號,斯科特負責探險歷史上最為複雜的遠征,阿波羅15號。在月球上花了三天的時間,斯科特成為在月球驚人的地面行走的第七個人類。美蘇兩國之間的合作標誌著宇航技術進入了一個新的時代,阿波羅聯盟測試計畫把斯科特和列昂諾夫促成了一起,最終結束了冷戰的靜默,建立了持續數十年之久的友誼。(Sandy)
