The Man Who Knew The Way to the Moon by Todd Zwillich
3.0
This is the story of the guy who pushed for, argued and fought for Lunar Orbit Rendezvous (LOR). Just like any large bureaucratic organization, NASA has a lot of folks who were more interested in position and CYA than in what was the best solution to the goal of getting to the moon before the end of the 60s.
John Hobolt rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, because of his passion for LOR. They didn't want to give him credit for it, even when it was selected over other options like Direct Assent or Earth Orbit Rendezvous.
It was an interesting book, in a lot of ways. However, it also comes across as an "I told you that I was right" story.
