Of a fire on the moon

After spending time at the space center and mission control in Houston, and witnessing the launch of the Saturn V at Cape Kennedy in Florida, Mailer began writing his account of the historic voyage at his home in Provincetown, Massachusetts during marathon writing sessions to meet his deadlines for the magazine. His account, which ran to 115,000 words, was published between August 1969 and January 1970 in three long installments: *A Fire on the Moon*, *The Psychology of Astronauts*, and *A Dream of the Future's Face*. His account was published as a book called *Of a Fire on the Moon* in 1970. In the UK, it was published with its original article title, *A Fire on the Moon*. [adapted from [Wikipedia][1]]
