About this ebook
Alan Shepard, the first American to travel into space, was a trailblazer in the early days of space exploration. Born in 1923 in Derry, New Hampshire, Shepard’s military background as a Navy test pilot prepared him for his historic Mercury mission aboard Freedom 7 in 1961. This biography traces his groundbreaking spaceflight, his role in NASA’s Gemini and Apollo programs, and his achievement as the fifth man to walk on the moon during Apollo 14. Despite personal and professional challenges, including a battle with Ménière’s disease, Shepard’s determination and leadership made him a cornerstone of the space program. This book celebrates his legacy as a pioneer who helped define humanity’s journey into space.
