Nel 1969 i primi due uomini mettevano piede su un altro corpo celeste, la Luna. Era un passo storico che segnava il ventesimo secolo, esprimendo il lato buono dell’umanità in un periodo tormentato da grandi tragedie. Dopo cinque decenni ci si sta preparando al ritorno sulle sabbie seleniche, ma adesso per rimanerci costruendo una colonia dove gli esploratori del cosmo potranno vivere e lavorare. Gli uomini e le donne che hanno avuto l’intelligenza e l’ardire di affrontare l’uscita dalla Terra, volando oltre il cielo, sono i protagonisti di questo libro. Assieme ci sono coloro che hanno pensato e costruito i mezzi per affrontare le ardue sfide nelle quali spesso era in gioco la vita. Tutti parlano e raccontano direttamente le loro storie in queste interviste frutto di incontri straordinari avvenuti nei luoghi dove le imprese dello spazio si inventavano, prendevano forma o si controllavano. Il libro è una storia dello spazio raccontata dalla voce dei personaggi che l’hanno realizzata. Ed è stato meraviglioso ascoltare la passione, l’entusiasmo, la visione che animavano le loro parole spesso intrise da una sorprendente umiltà. Testimonianze preziose, che ci portano nel futuro volando dalla fantascienza alla realtà. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… In 1969 the first two men set foot on another celestial body, the Moon. It was a historic step that marked the twentieth century, expressing the good side of humanity in a period tormented by great tragedies. After five decades, we are preparing to return to the Moon, but now our goal is to stay there, building a colony where explorers of the cosmos will be able to live and work. The men and women who had the intelligence and the courage to face the exit from Earth, flying over the sky, are the protagonists of this book. Together there are those who thought and built the means to face the arduous challenges in which life was often at stake. Everyone talks and tells their stories directly in these interviews, the result of extraordinary encounters that took place in places where space businesses invented, took shape or controlled themselves. The book is a story of space told by the voice of the characters who made it.]
