It is the technical team, the engineers, analysts, programmers, and yes, even the secretaries and typists who kept the administrative side moving, who are portrayed in this book. This combined team, after achieving an unbelievable goal of putting men on the moon within the 10-year limit set by Kennedy, performed in an exemplary manner. Some believe they were the greatest technological team ever assembled, achieving the most difficult challenge of all mankind to date. The Apollo team faced challenges and temptations like anyone else in the 60s: divorce, affairs, deaths, three shifts of work schedules, as well as womens issues, but they also knew how to have fun along the way. Choruses were formed, humorous skits brought laughs to facility dinners, and tennis bets of a lifetime played out on an Apollo stage with human lives on the line, etched with historic backdrops. What was it like to be a part of this history-making event of launching our astronauts to the moon? Fasten your seat belts and journey back to the 60s for a front-row seat by someone who experienced it all." -- Page [4] cover.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 629.45 Lemasters Checked In Add Copy to MyList
