Go, Flight!: The Unsung Heroes of Mission Control, 1965-1992 by Milt Heflin, Rick Houston

3.0

Mr Kraft's memoir suffered from being my first read following Michael Collins' superb "Carrying the Fire." However, Kraft and co-author James Schefter wrote an engaging narrative of what it was like to create the first manned space program. Kraft's story sheds light on the politics and management of NASA during the 1950s and 1960s, and creates a picture of a no-nonsense leader who cared about his remit and the people who helped make manned space flight a reality.

Well worth the read, if only to get a perspective from behind the consoles rather than in the spacecraft.
