"To the rocket scientist, you are the problem." Yup but where would the fun be? Fascinating book and a must for any Astronaut wannabe. Having read just about everything related to the astronaut program I found this book to be every bit refreshing as anything I have read before. A lot of new interesting insights. Not so much related to actual spaceflight but a lot of on the ground research that was done to get man to the moon. I mean in the 50s scientists thought that without gravity the body would shut down! Also thought the lunar lander would sink into couple feet of dust too. So much for being a scientist.Overall a fantastic read (who knew people were paid to lie prone for months on end to determine the effects of bone loss). Highly recommend it.
