One Giant Leap: The Impossible Mission That Flew Us to the Moon by Charles Fishman

4.0

Excellent read. Not your typical recounting of all the Apollo missions - the chapters were more like individual vignettes about an aspect of the space program, some which had not been explored in all the reading I've done about it in the last year or two... My favorite quote:

That's the sense in which the culture of manned space travel helped lay the groundwork for the Digital Age. Space didn't get us ready for space; it got us ready for the world that was coming to Earth.
