"Hergâe's two lunar adventures, Destination Moon and Explorers on the Moon, were both published fifteen years before the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 and even before the first satellite, Sputnik 1, was launched in 1957. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the moon landing on July 20, 1969, we are delighted to reunite these two adventures in a single volume"--Back cover.
