Go, Flight!: The Unsung Heroes of Mission Control,… Tekijä: Rick Houston
Nothing against this book, but if you're going to invest the time (and haven't already read it), go for Gene Krantz's Failure Is Not An Option for a close-up view of how things worked in Mission Control back in the day.
Wonderful period of time to write about but the language used by authors is way too religious. Their approach is so reverent it's just hard to read with a straight face.

I was so excited to pick up this book on our vacation to Houston last year! We went there to visit the space center because space is one of my favorite things!!
