In 1969, with only weeks left until the liftoff of Apollo 11, NASA worked feverishly to miniaturize messages of goodwill from world leaders to carry them to the Moon. NASA, the State Department, President Nixon each played a role in this historic feat. This book adds a new dimension to the legends of the "Giant leap for all mankind" with the complete story of the forgotten silicon disc.
