My husband has raved about how awesome this book is. He had the Kindle edition first but without the pictures to go along with the text, some of it just didn't make much sense. This is a must have for moon enthusiasts! Absolutely packed full of information...
A very good book on the Apollo program. Lots of great stories including the background guys without whom the moon landings would never have happened.
A good book, with some individual mission details, but I was hoping for more pictures and technical information..
