Ray W. Luce spent three years working in the U.S. space program during the Gemini and Apollo programs, culminating with Luce being present in NASA?s Mission Control Center in Houston when Apollo 11 made man?s first landing on the lunar surface July 20, 1969. Additionally, during Apollo 11 Luce was drafted, and seven months later was carrying an M16 in a mechanized infantry unit fighting in Vietnam and Cambodia. This book is the result of Luce?s desire to reconcile the disorienting mental juxtaposition of experiencing these immediately successive and disparate events, one the ultimate manifestation of man?s unquenchable drive to explore and his endless technical abilities, and the other a reminder of man?s destructive nature and the resulting brutality.
