3.0

I really enjoyed reading this book. Ever since I saw the movie "Apollo 13", I've been interested in the history of space flight and the great heroism portrayed in that movie. What I found out reading this book was that the whole space program from the beginning was filled with heroism and dedication and hard work and patriotism. It was fascinating to read of the various missions and how they worked through the problems to succeed and protect the lives of those involved. He includes a lot of technical detail about the space craft and the missions that I often skimmed through - a bit too technical for my interest - otherwise I probably would have given it four stars. A great read. What an amazing time period and efforts put forth by a great group of people.
