This was an excellent book with a well told chronological sequence to the missions.

I was on the edge of my seat the entire read. Fascinating inside story from two astronauts who were there. But it doesn't feel boastful. It truly goes into the challenges they faced, the cliffhanger moments, the human side. Very well written and well presented.

No matter what you've read about the US space program this book will give you a different perspective. The inside perspective as told by the men who managed a big part of the program. It also highlights near the end how Obama has thrown away 50 years of knowledge and technology and billions of dollars to decimate NASA in his quest to "dumb down" America and throw every cent he can at social programs that will keep his party in power. More wise Democrats like LBJ and JFK are rolling in their graves. Anyhow, don't be scared off. The book is completely non-political and just describes the facts of how Obama killed NASA in only one paragraph out of a whole book about the space program. A great read!!

The obama administration ended the shuttle program. The nixon administration ended the apollo program. They both hampered America's ability to advance in space exploration. They both deserve harsh criticism therefore i truly enjoyed the end.

I enjoyed reading this book, but near the end, it devolved into a political rant against the Obama administration. This, unfortunately, left a bad taste in my mouth and ruined what would normally have been a four star book. It seemed completely uneccesary.
