The Man Who Knew The Way to the Moon by Todd Zwillich

The Man Who Knew The Way to the Moon by Todd Zwillich
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Very good history of John C. Houbolt, the unsung engineer who persisted in pushing, pushing, PUSHING for Lunar-Orbit-Rendevous as the *way* to land on the moon. Good detail and the real voices of the participants in the space program. While he didn't create the mode, he's the one who really made sure that it was not ignored - without it, it's not likely we'd have made the moon landing within John Kennedy's goal.

American Moonshot: John F. Kennedy and the Great Space Race by Douglas Brinkley

American Moonshot: John F. Kennedy and the Great Space Race by Douglas Brinkley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The politics behind the story.

A good recounting of much of the political machinations behind the American Moonshot. Not as detailed a story of the space program and science - more about Kennedy and the program.
