Product Information

As command module pilot of Apollo 17 , the last crewed flight to the moon, Ron Evans combined precision flying and painstaking geological observation with moments of delight and enthusiasm. On his way to the launchpad, he literally jumped for joy in his spacesuit. Emerging from the command module to conduct his crucial spacewalk, he exclaimed, "Hot diggity dog!" and waved a greeting to his family. As a patriotic American in charge of command module America , Evans was nicknamed "Captain America" by his fellow crew members. Born in 1933 in St. Francis, Kansas, Evans distinguished himself academically and athletically in school, earned degrees in electrical engineering and aeronautical engineering, and became a naval aviator and a combat flight instructor. He was one of the few astronauts who served in combat during the Vietnam War, flying more than a hundred missions off the deck of the USS Ticonderoga , the same aircraft carrier that would recover him and his fellow astronauts after the splashdown of Apollo 17 . Evans's astronaut career spans the Apollo missions and beyond. He served on the support crews for 1 , 7 , and 11 and on the Apollo 14 backup crew before being selected for Apollo 17 and flying on the final moon mission in 1972. He next trained with Soviet cosmonauts as backup command module pilot for the 1975 Apollo-Soyuz mission and carried out early work on the space shuttle program. Evans then left NASA to pursue a business career. He died suddenly in 1990 at the age of fifty-six.

Reviews
"Ron Evans is one of the unsung heroes of the Apollo program. . . . I am delighted that this book now tells the story of Ron's remarkable life."--Farouk El-Baz, geologist and trainer of Apollo astronauts in observation and photography, "Ron Evans and I were selected as NASA astronauts in 1966. I enjoyed my time with Ron during our 'rookie' years through a variety of training before I was selected for Apollo 13 and Ron for Apollo 17 . This very interesting and informative account of Ron's life and career emphasizes how we shared with many others the immense privilege of having been a part of the Apollo program."--Fred Haise, lunar module pilot on Apollo 13, "From a small town in Kansas to dodging enemy rockets in a jet fighter over North Vietnam to orbiting the moon on Apollo's final lunar voyage, here is the extraordinary journey of Ron Evans. In this thoroughly detailed biography, Geoffrey Bowman captures a man of unflappable calm and easygoing warmth who met the final frontier with unabashed exuberance. In these pages, you'll learn why Evans left countless people, myself included, feeling honored and glad to have known him."--Andrew Chaikin, author of A Man on the Moon: The Voyages of the Apollo Astronauts, "This well-written, fascinating book provides a biography of Evans with a special focus on his role during Apollo 17."--J. Z. Kiss, Choice, "This work will appeal to those who simply cannot read enough about the history of crewed space flight. We should all be thankful that Bowman has written this book and shined a light on this historic aviator and space traveller."--Dr. Brian Laslie, From Balloons to Drones, "Bowman's storytelling and lively, conversational prose make A Long Voyage to the Moon a commendable biography of Jan Evans's husband, who flew for the navy and conducted science beyond low earth orbit, for general audiences and anyone interested in astronauts who have not landed in the history books with one small step. . . . The story of Ron Evans points to the additional science that could be done on the moon and urges us to remember the partners and support systems who make the extraordinary possible and worth doing."--Kevin Castro, H-Sci-Med-Tech, "At long last, those unfamiliar with Evans' life and career get to know the last person to perform a deep space EVA."--Emily Carney, National Space Society
