Although the primary impetus behind the Apollo program was absurdly geopolitical (beating those pesky Commie Ruskies to the Moon), once we actually got to the Moon, science rightly took center stage. Wired.com has a nice article about this, but the best part is that it links to two historically relevant science resources:- A PDF of the Apollo 11 Preliminary Science Report (NASA, October 1969)
- Free access to a special Apollo edition of Science (Vol. 167, Issue 3918, 30 January 1970)
This isn't dumbed-down pop-sci tripe. This is the real deal, and I'm loving it.
