I love Chicago so much, and getting invited twice, to lecture at the Adler and then host Captain Lovell and Doctor Aldrin at a benefit was a dream come true … and having it all captured on iTunes … including my desperate note-reading on the phone before the legends of aviation talk began … makes it all seem like ten seconds ago …
There was a time when heroes walked the earth, and stories of their adventures have been told again and again. There is one story of astounding bravery and sacrifice from that time, however, that has all but vanished from our national memory.

“What a phenomenal trip Craig Nelson takes us on. I don’t know which made me laugh harder, the outrageous people and places Craig describes, or his hilarious travel antics. Let’s Get Lost is a gem.” –Lily Tomlin
Dear Mr. Nelson,
What a marvelous, wonderful book! I thought this was just about Apollo 11 but to my surprise it really traced the roots of the missle and space race that I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s. I got your book from the library and just enjoyed every single page. I liked it so much that I bought a copy for a present for my son who is a aeronautical engineer with the USAF.
A huge congratulations to you on this remarkable achievement. I hope you sell many copies and reap the rewards of all your hard work.
Thanks so much for helping me understand what really went on.
Did they really forget to put a handle on the outside of the LEM? I find this amazing!
