Clyde Brown's "First Man" (short story, humor, free): Record of the first manned trip to moon
Harold Ferguson, a tinkerer who has built a spaceship to take him to moon, accidentally ended up with his neighbor Orville Close too in the ship during takeoff! A ship fashioned from junk that took off from Harold's backyard!
The two had a successful trip to moon without anyone in the world knowing about it! Even after their return, no one believes they've been to moon - since they landed in Siberia, & had to leave the ship there when finding passage home.
