Flight: My Life in Mission Control – Christopher Kraft

Read Time:33 Second

51ET8AGX2YL._SX311_BO1,204,203,200_Nope – not done with NASA just yet.  Someone recently recommended this as a good book on NASA, and boy, were they right.  Kraft was in the middle of everything from the unmanned Mercury flights through Apollo, and this book tells the story.  He pulls no punches, unloading on Scott Carpenter as the single bad astronaut in his experience, and tells the behind the scenes stories of many of the more notable episodes.

As a bonus, when I got this used copy in, I opened the cover, and it was autographed by Kraft himself.  Admittedly, my name isn't "Bob", but I will still take it.
