Customer Reviews
Reads like a text book.
I was looking for more of a story, but there is a lot of information and history in this book.
Great Book!
Like all of Springer Paxis Books I knew I had to have this one and I was not dissapointed in this one. The book covers all aspects of the program from launch vehicles to launch facilities as well as the astronauts themselves!! It goes into the design studies and concepts, as well as the selection process for the astronauts.
