Reviews
On Jul 1 2017, a reader said:
For readers interested in straight forward stories written in a historical fashion this book is not for them. It reads like an action book with lots of emotional phrases and words. One section on page 301, involving what an astronaut during a tense moon landing said, did not happen as evidenced by the NASA tape recordings.
Still, it has a lot of fine information from the astronauts point of view.
383 pages with a handful of photos.
