Requests:  0 Summary:  "Today, everyone is familiar with Neil Armstrong's famous words as he first set foot on the moon: 'one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind.' He made it look easy, but America's journey to the moon was anything but simple. In 1957, when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the world's first satellite, into orbit, America had barely crossed the starting line of the great Space Race. Later that year, our first attempt was such a failure that the media nicknamed it 'Kaputnik.' Still, we didn't give up. With each failure, we gleaned valuable information about what went wrong, and how to avoid it in the future. So we tried again. And again. And each time we failed, we failed a little bit better"--Amazon.com.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 629.45 Sl   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 629.45 Sl   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 629.45 Sl   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 629.45 Sl   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 629.45 Sl   Claimed Returned 07/27/2020 Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 629.45 Sl pbk Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 629.45 Sl   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
