Synopsis
"Apollo" was the most ambitious engineering project ever undertaken by man: to take a rocket 50 storeys high, load it with the explosive power of a nuclear device, put men on top of it, and shoot it at the moon. Harrison Storms, head of North American Aviation's Space Division, is the man charged by the federal government with getting the astronauts to the moon and back. Just to find metals pure enough means creating a whole new technology, and new machine tools must be invented to build parts of the rocket and spacecraft. Storms commands a technical empire of 30,000 people, some of the greatest minds in industrial America, not to mention Werner von Braun and the German rocket scientists from Peenemunde. Chasing the triple nines (tolerances of .999), they give their careers, sometimes their lives, to this colossal machine.
