I'm back in my space era, apparently. This was a fun read. It was cool to read something written so soon after the moon landing. A good deal of the content was pulled directly from flight logs, which I thought added a lot to the story. It was cool to get an idea of what everyone was doing and thinking in the moment during such a major historical event. The last chapter on the future of space travel beyond Apollo was fascinating, and so, so optimistic. It's wild to compare what was thought about and hoped for in 1970, versus what has actually happened in the 50+ years since the moon landing.
