Earthrise: My Adventures as an Apollo 14 Astronaut (2014)

by . . . . . Dr. Edgar Dean Mitchell (author)
with . . . Ellen Mahoney (author), Dr. Brian Cox (foreword)

To date only 12 humans have ever set foot on the surface of the Moon. Ed Mitchell is one of them . . . and this is the story of how he got there and what it was like when he did. Now that’s a claim not many authors can make!

Earthrise tells the story of Apollo 14 Lunar Module pilot Edgar D. Mitchell, in his own words, from his upbringing on a family ranch in New Mexico to his days as a Navy pilot and eventually as an astronaut in the Apollo program, culminating in his historic voyage to the Moon with Alan Shepard and Stu Roosa in February 1971.

Although written for younger readers ages ten and up, Earthrise is a fascinating account of Mitchell’s life and personal experiences up to and including his time as an astronaut.
