Just in time for the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission and the first lunar stroll comes "Missions to the Moon: The Complete Story of Man's Greatest Adventure" (Sterling, $40). Aficionados will savor the 150 photographs of key players and the missions but likely will find this volume is a little light on text. What promises to amuse, though, is the inclusion of a score of facsimile documents, such as Werner von Braun's 1964 design for a space station (as well as an FBI report on his Nazi connections) and a press release on the single-trip, $50,000 Travelers insurance policy for each Apollo 11 crew member.
