JFK issued the historic moon landing challenge. These are the stories of the visionaries who helped America complete his vision with the first lunar landing fifty years ago. A Companion Book to the AMERICAN EXPERIENCE® Film on PBS® Going in depth to explore their stories beyond the PBS series, writer/producer Robert Stone—called “one of our most important documentary filmmakers” by Entertainment Weekly—brings these important figures to brilliant life. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy proposed the nation spend twenty billion dollars to land a man on the Moon before the end of the decade. Based on eyewitness accounts and newly discovered archival material, Chasing the Moon reveals for the first time the unknown stories of the fascinating individuals whose imaginative work across several decades culminated in America’s momentous achievement. More than a story of engineers and astronauts, the moon landing—now celebrating its fiftieth anniversary—grew out of the dreams of science fiction writers, filmmakers, military geniuses, and rule-breaking scientists. They include • Science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke, whose writing inspired some of the key players in the Moon race. A scientific paper he wrote in his twenties led to the U.S. beating Russia in one area of space: communications satellites. • Wernher von Braun, the former Nazi military genius who oversaw Hitler''s rocket weapons program. After working on ballistic missiles for the U.S. Army, he was recruited by NASA to manage the creation of the Saturn V moon rocket. • Astronaut Frank Borman, commander of the first mission to circumnavigate the Moon, whose powerful testimony before Congress in 1967 decisively saved the U.S. lunar program from being cancelled. • Poppy Northcutt, a young mathematician who was the first woman to work in Mission Control. Her media exposure as a unique presence in this all-male world allowed her the freedom to stand up for equal rights for women and minorities. • Edward Dwight, an African American astronaut candidate, recruited at the urging of the Kennedy White House to further the administration’s civil rights agenda—but not everyone welcomed his inclusion. Setting these key players in the political, social, and cultural climate of the time, and including captivating photographs throughout, Chasing the Moon focuses on the science and the history, but most important, the extraordinary individuals behind what was undoubtedly the greatest human achievement of the twentieth century.

Traduit de l''anglais (États-Unis) par Philippe Garnier. Saigon. La guerre du Vietnam touche à sa fin. Un journaliste, Converse, confie un paquet d''héroïne à Hicks, un Marine. Celui-ci doit livrer la drogue à Marge, la femme de Converse, en Californie. De retour aux États-Unis, Converse découvre que Marge et Hicks ont disparu avec la marchandise. Il est enlevé par des agents fédéraux aux méthodes peu orthodoxes. Leur folle course-poursuite se terminera tragiquement dans le désert du Nouveau-Mexique. Inspiré par le regard visionnaire de Joseph Conrad et la prose survoltée de Jack Kerouac, Robert Stone décrit une Amérique qui ne croit plus en ses valeurs, tout en constatant l''échec de la contre-culture qui devait la régénérer. Dans ce grand roman noir obsédé par la vitesse et la défonce, les ombres tutélaires de Ken Kesey et de Neal Cassady passent puis s''éloignent avant de se confondre à jamais avec leur propre légende.

Reinhardt è stato per diversi anni un virtuoso del clarinetto, fino a quando l''alcolismo gli ha reso impossibile suonare. Approdato a New Orleans a caccia di soldi e di liquori, si lega sentimentalmente a Geraldine, un''ex prostituta con il viso solcato da una cicatrice, e accetta di lavorare come disc-jockey e commentatore per una radio di estrema destra, anche se le sue amicizie eccentriche, il suo aspetto fisico e il suo amore per la marijuana tradiscono tendenze politiche di ben altro segno. Morgan Rainey, vicino di casa di Reinhardt, ha appena accettato un incarico dal consiglio municipale, che dovrebbe consentirgli di contribuire al miglioramento dei programmi di assistenza per i più poveri, ma scopre ben presto di essere manipolato da un gruppo di politicanti senza scrupoli, il cui vero scopo è escludere per quanto possibile la popolazione nera di New Orleans da qualunque sostegno economico. Le vite di Rainey e di Reinhardt si incroceranno, in una battaglia senza quartiere tra sogni di eguaglianza e disillusione, impegno politico e cinismo. Premiato nel 1967 con il William Faulkner Award per la migliore opera prima e con lo Houghton Mifflin Fellowship Award; salutato da Wallace Stegner come «uno dei due romanzi d''esordio migliori che io abbia mai letto» e da Joyce Carol Oates come «un romanzo fantastico,brillante, implacabile», Una sala di specchi ha imposto Robert Stone come una delle voci più potenti e originali della scena letteraria americana.

Les personnages de Robert Stone ont en commun le goût des situations extrêmes et des atmosphères louches. Une cantina mexicaine où traînent des voyous, un yacht bourré de drogue dérivant dans les Caraïbes, un quai de métro new-yorkais un soir de bagarre sont des lieux " typiquement Stone ". Ajoutons qu''il leur arrive, plus souvent qu''à leur tour, de forcer sur l''alcool et autres substances, et le tableau sera complet. A condition de ne pas oublier l''essentiel : chez Stone, tout se passe à l''intérieur. Le reste - castagnes, dope et mauvais lieux - n''est qu''une occasion, un signe du destin. Comme si le mouvement de l''histoire n''était là que pour refléter, en surface, la lente implosion de ces héros combustibles.
