This document was started at the request of Dr. Bonnie Dunbar, without whose foresight I would not have had the opportunity to uncover so much of our past. It would not have been possible without the help of Joey Kuhlman and Janet Kovacevich in the JSC History Office. They were able to find information in the archives that I did not know existed. Likewise, Annie Platoff provided access to documents which had long since been kept on anyone's shelf. Eric Jones was also very helpful in providing anecdotes related to him by the crews. Of course, the twelve astronauts that did the actual work on the moon and allowed us to increase our knowledge of our solar system are owed a great debt, as are the teams of scientists and engineers who helped make it happen. I also need to thank John Young, Thornton Page, and Jack Sevier for their help and time discussing those experiments on which they worked. Mike Foale's review of what I had hoped was the final draft helped me to realize that more comparison of planned and actual timelines would be instructive to future EVA planners. Finally, my thanks go to several people in the Solar System Exploration Division who talked with me in the hallways and gave me tips about who to talk to and what really happened back when I was just a kid in high school.
