Moondust

In summer 2002, journalist Andrew Smith (The Face, Observer) set out to find the men who'd walked on the Moon. Only 12 had ever set down on the surface, between the summer of '69 - about three weeks before Woodstock - and end of '72, and no one had left Earth orbit since.

A chance encounter with one of the Moonwalkers changed all that. Smith found himself hearing about breakdowns, religious epiphanies and retreats into stony silence. The impossible-seeming feat had been executed with less computing power than the mobile phone, and held the entire world rapt. Smith wondered how the men who'd enjoyed what Norman Mailer described as 'this surreal adventure' felt now, and what had become of them.

With this in mind, he set out to find the Moonmen, and his search became the book Moondust, which was nominated for two British Book Awards in 2006 and remained in the top ten of the Sunday Times best-sellers list for four straight months, a rare feat for non-fiction.
