Anyone that knows me know that I love space. I always tell my students that I want to be an astronaut when I grow up. I attend every conference at Johnson Space Center that I can. I was surprised that I had never seen it or heard of this book. I ate it up. I always feel teary eyed when I think of all of the men and woman that worked in the space program. Their level of dedication is nothing short of amazing. I am totally in awe of the way that the men in Mission Control were able to do very difficult calculations so quickly with only paper, pencil, and a slide rule. People's lives depended on their computations. The photographs are absolutely fantastic. I would love to have access to all of NASA's photos. This book contains a lot of quotes from the men and woman that made the Apollo 11 mission possible. This is a must read book for anyone that is interested in space, or the history of the space program.
