Apollo Screed

Travis! You're... ummm... 40 years too late!

This is the $29 Haynes Owners' Workshop Manual for all of the vehicles and equipment used during the Apollo 11 mission to the moon.*
"On 20 July 1969, US astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. This is the story of the Apollo 11 mission and the 'space hardware' that made it all possible. This manual looks at the evolution and design of the mighty Saturn V rocket, the Command and Service Modules, and the Lunar Module. It describes the space suits worn by the crew and their special life support and communications systems."
There you have it, everything you need to know about how to fly a mission to the moon 40 years ago.

*Assuming you believe that sort of thing.
