Audio CD
(Emerald Books March 22, 2017)
Alan Shepard's (1923-1998) boyhood fascination with flight led him from constructing model airplanes in his grandfather's basement to attaining nation hero status in the race to space. Rooted in hard work and education, this pioneer's dreams for flight came true as he became not only the first American launched into space but, later, one of the privileged few to walk on the moon. When he wasn't soaring above the clouds, astronaut Alan Shepard used his expertise to benefit others, raising money to fuel the dreams of science students and guiding NASA missions.
