Five Stars love, love, love it. KFG said Five Stars. great read. Great book on Mission Control M. Nagle This is a book I've been waiting for a long time. I love the US Space program but most have been on the landings, astronauts and the moon rock findings. Now great books are finally coming out about the highly technical aspect of Apollo. This book on Mission Control after Saturn V cleared the tower. Other great works like Rocket Ranch and Countdown to a Moon Launch are the construction of the launch facilities and the actual preparations of getting the Saturn V ready for launch
