Customer Review: A large coffee table book containing the most comprehensive black-and-white and color photographic collection of the history of NASA I have every read. Many large unique photographs offering first hand insight of the people and equipment that put man in space. Too heavy for casual night time reading... more info
Customer Review: Just to be clear, I have a degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT, obtained in the year 1968, when astronauts first reached the moon. I have made a career in aerospace ever since. With this background I found the book to be fascinating and read it from cover to cover in about 2 days.... more info
Customer Review: Having seen the movie before reading the book, I expected Wolfe's THE RIGHT STUFF to be good. I was surprised how good it turned out to be in capturing the mood of the America in the late 50s and early 60s.

Customer Review: A comprehensive book that seems to spend a lot of time justifying the use of PC based Flight Sims for pilot training. I possibly expected more on how to use the Flight Sim program than there was. nevertheless, worth reading.
Customer Review: Apollo 13 tells the story of the famous mission that told the world, that it "had a problem". Being interested in space, I picked this book up hoping for a quick read. The book does a fine job with the technical details and the back story of the mission, but it seemed to have trouble developing any... more info
Customer Review: Great photograghs with well written copy. This book makes me want to go to this museum and see first hand the items displayed. Highly recommend!!!
Customer Review: Just when I thought I had read everything about the space program, French and Burgess have done it again will a follow-on effort to their book "Into That Silent Sea." I have no idea when they have the time to create such excellent work, but the latest book begins where the first one ended and... more info
