Book Reviews of Apollo
Book Review: A Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I worked on Apollo at the Kennedy Space Center and read this book about 10 years ago. In my opinion, it remains among the top 3 or 4 books written on the subject.Book Review: A Story of the Apollo Program
Summary: 5 Stars
Apollo, formerlly Apollo: The Race to the Moon, focuses not so much on the astronauts, but on many of the unsung heroes who made the Moon landings possible. It is therefore a very human story of ordinary people who, long ago, did an extraordinary thing.
Highly recommended.
--Mark R. Whittington(...)
Book Review: A band of unknown guys accomplishes the impossible.
Summary: 4 Stars
This story will pull you in and make you feel part of the greatest engineering achievement of the 20th century.Book Review: A must read
Summary: 5 Stars
For anyone who is intersted in learning about the Apollo moon program, this book, combined with Andrew Chaikin's "A Man on the Moon", should be considered the two essential baseline texts. The two compliment each other perfectly. AMOTM describes things primarily from the astronaut point of view, while this book fills in the perspective of the engineers, administrators, and controllers who made it all happen.
An excellent page-turner. If you're interested in Apollo, this book is not to be missed.
Book Review: APOLLO the definitive book
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great book. It is perfect and describes accurately what everyone did on Apollo. Even the janitors and the guys who maintained the crawler/tractor which everyone so admires. There were the NASA folks at Huntsville who so valiantly managed everything.
There were technicians everywhere from coast to coast and border to border. Of course, NASA built the entire superstructure such as the launch pads and the launch tower. They also stacked the Saturn V. If it weren't for NASA we would have never made it to the moon.
