Col. James Irwin, the eighth man on the moon, was the lunar vehicle commander for Apollo 15. Destination: Moon recounts his amazing physical and spiritual journey to the moon. With spectacular photos and you are there text, you will experience what its like to train for four years as an astronaut. You will feel the emotions of lift-off, see Earth from space, and explore the moon.
As amazing as his accomplishment was, Astronaut Irwin viewed it as insignificant compared to the accomplishments of the Creator. Col. Irwin spent the rest of his life sharing this message: Jesus walking on Earth is more important than man walking on the moon. His legacy of faith and discovery is an inspiration even now, thirty years after he landed on the moon.
"After reading Destination Moon, you may feel like you made the trip with astronaut Irwin. I did. Maybe, you will want to make the trip for real yourself someday."
- Tom Hanks, Actor, Apollo 13
