Apollo 11 at Twenty-Five

The ExInEd program honors the 25th annual celebration of the moment 
when humans first walked on the Moon with the publication of an Electronic 
PictureBook authored by NASA's History Division. Apollo 11 at Twenty-
Five surveys the Apollo program from May 1961, with its announcement by 
President John F. Kennedy, to December 1972, when the program ended with 
the flight of Apollo 17.  An "insider's" look at the struggles within 
NASA to accomplish the lunar landing in the period specified by 
President Kennedy, the Electronic PictureBook recalls the problems 
encountered along the way and the exhilaration at the program's ultimate 
success. For those who remember Apollo, the story is a poignant one. For 
those too young to remember, it is an exciting adventure of discovery. 
For all, the achievement of Apollo gives us cause to be proud of what we 
accomplished as a nation and challenges us to look forward to the 
possibilities of new programs to explore space.

Electronic PictureBooks are HyperCard¨ stacks designed to run on a color 
Macintosh¨ computer with at least 2.5 megabytes of available RAM, 
sufficient hard disk space to contain the Electronic Picturebook, System 7.0, 
and HyperCard 2.1 or HyperCard Player 2.1. 

This Electronic PictureBook is one of a series being produced by the 
Exploration in Education (ExInEd) program at the Special Studies Office of the 
Space Telescope Science Institute (ST ScI). The purpose of the ExInEd program 
is to discover new tools and approaches to relate space science and exploration 
to basic teaching and learning, and it involves searching for new ways to 
assemble and distribute the results of research, particularly images.
