Doc/Mike, For me that would be a VERY close second, but I've got to go with Gene Kranz. Never have I read a book placing more credit where credit is due and taking blame when it is to be taken than Kranz has done here. All done, I might add, without the aid of a "ghost". This is talented writing.Mike Quinn |

I'll be different and say Michael Collins' "Carrying the Fire".

Why hasn't this topic been placed on the "Books/Publications" line ? <G> My favourite one (of the known published in English and I read) is "The Right Stuff" by now. Am reading through Fallaci's "When the sun has died" right now, then will be taking my German "We Seven" version - as soon as my time allows me to. Happy reading, Kirsten

So far I have enjoyed A Man on the Moon and Return to Earth. I also enjoyed Dragonfly about MIR. I have a very large pile of space books to read probably in excess of 20 - my next book to read will be Tom Kelly's book Moon Lander.Jacqueline |

To avoid confusion (and duplication) this topic has now moved it to the "Books & Publications" forum. |
