### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Content is so great, book quality is so bad
*by E***A on 9 August 2025*

The book quality is not good, not worth the money, but the content is so great.for the content 5 star,for the quality 1 star.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A different perspective
*by A***E on 21 August 2019*

A different perspective to space flight from the people who made it happen but never hogged the limelight

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was exciting at times and a bit of a dull read sometimes
*by S***E on 18 October 2014*

The book gives a detailed history of what went behind the scenes in the development of American space mission. It was exciting at times and a bit of a dull read sometimes. The book could have given further details on the technological challenges and how they were overcome, something more on the objectives of these missions and findings from the lunar missions. That would have given amore complete picture. As such, the book is written only with an eye on mission control.
