Failure is Not an Option: Mission Control From Mercury to Apollo 13 and Beyond by Gene Kranz

4.0

Very long and detailed history of NASA. Gene Kranz leaves nothing out. He gives a different view point than The Right Stuff. He explains in detail the beginning of the program before Kennedy with the Russians beating us up into space during the cold war. Kennedy's call to We go to the moon not because it is easy, but because it is hard. Maybe paraphrasing, the problems that were not discussed during many of the flights etc. While, I know it is difficult to cut somethings out some stories and dynamics of the players in mission control flight command could have been simplified.
