"[F]ascinating details about eating, sleeping, and taking care of business while in space will keep readers turning pages [and the] epilogue is a romantic ode to the space race with reminders of its remarkable legacy." --Kirkus Reviews

"Kluger tells the main story with a good balance of technological details and human-interest narratives. . . . An engaging, informative account of the Apollo 8 mission." --Booklist

"[A]n appealing and informative account of the first mission to circle the moon [that] will appeal to those with a keen interest in America's space program who have enjoyed other books on the topic, such as Andrew Chaikin's Mission Control, This Is Apollo: The Story of the First Voyages to the Moon." --School Library Journal
