"We choose to go to the moon..."
Three ... two ... one ... LIFTOFF! John F. Kennedy
The roar of the giant Saturn V engines becomes deafening as the gleaming
rocket clears the launch tower. Within minutes it has enough velocity to reach
orbit. America's space program is heading to the moon! But for two years the
Russians have been working on a larger, more powerful rocket. Could they be
secretly planning a mission this year to land men on the moon? Will they get
there first?
Buzz Aldrin's Race Into Space, is a computer simulation of man's greatest
adventure, the race to the moon. It recreates all the excitement of every space
mission using digitized footage from lift-offs, space walks, lunar landings and
splashdowns.
As Space Director, you have at your disposal the entire space inventories of
both the U.S.A. and U.S.S.R., and can plan and direct every conceivable space
mission: sub-orbitals; orbital manned and unmanned; planetary and lunar
flybys; lem tests; lunar passes; lunar orbits; and lunar landings.
You get to recruit and train over 140 astronauts and cosmonauts and
determine which ones have the "right stuff". You determine which space
hardware to research and develop and then you actually schedule and launch individual space missions.
Buzz Aldrin's Race Into Space offers twenty different approaches to the
moon. Do you follow history or do you cut your own path to glory? Will the
United States land on the moon first? Or will the Russians continue to
dominate space and plant the red flag on lunar soil first?
