PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "Haise's passion for flying is unmistakable...this is an illuminating personal history of NASA's space program.", PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "Haise's passion for flying is unmistakable...this is an illuminating personal history of NASA's space program." BOOKLIST "This memoir eschews self-revelation in favor of a focus on the work. It's dense with detail of the day-to-day reality of being a Marine pilot, engineer, and astronaut, filled with acronyms and technical jargon. It's a down-to-Earth counterpoint to the typical dramatizations about the space race.", CHOICE "The details and harrowing aspects of surviving the explosion aboard Apollo 13 are recounted in a very engaging manner. [...] The book includes black-and-white photos and will be enjoyed by scholars as well as space enthusiasts." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "Haise's passion for flying is unmistakable...this is an illuminating personal history of NASA's space program." BOOKLIST "This memoir eschews self-revelation in favor of a focus on the work. It's dense with detail of the day-to-day reality of being a Marine pilot, engineer, and astronaut, filled with acronyms and technical jargon. It's a down-to-Earth counterpoint to the typical dramatizations about the space race." AD ASTRA MAGAZINE "Anchored by Fred Haise's lack of ego and his occasionally blunt, often humorous candor, Never Panic Early is the consummate story of how one man overcame enough adversity to fill several lifetimes but ceaselessly kept moving forward." THE SPACE REVIEW "Never Panic Early is a straightforward autobiography about a man who will be forever linked with Apollo 13, but whose career in the military, at NASA, and in industry goes far beyond that single spaceflight." "A must read for all who like a fascinating story about the development of the ultimate NASA test pilot, aerospace engineer, and program manager in a field where failure is not an option. Though he is best known for being the lunar module pilot on Apollo 13, Fred was a real standout in the early space shuttle landing test program development. Fred's early life in Biloxi, flight training, fighter pilot days, and later program management experiences round out a truly great read." -- Bill Anders, Apollo 8 lunar module pilot "A triumphant story of survival." -- Jim Lovell, Apollo 13 astronaut "For those who are aerospace program enthusiasts or participants, the names, places, and events in this book will resonate. But this book is more than a chronology of events. In Never Panic Early Fred candidly describes how his values and training prepared him for the defining moments he has encountered throughout his life." -- Bob Sieck, former NASA launch director "No other astronaut can match Fred Haise's life perspective on Apollo's accomplishments. Never Panic Early carries the reader through Fred's personal preparation, which readied him for the challenges as the lunar module pilot of the Apollo 13 crisis, and through the trials and joys of a fantastically productive life after Apollo." -- Harrison H. Schmitt, Apollo 17 lunar module pilot and former United States Senator

Synopsis
The extraordinary autobiography of astronaut Fred Haise, one of only 24 men to fly to the moon In the gripping Never Panic Early , Fred Haise, Lunar Module Pilot for Apollo 13, offers a detailed firsthand account of when disaster struck three days into his mission to the moon. An oxygen tank exploded, a crewmate uttered the now iconic words, "Houston, we've had a problem here," and the world anxiously watched as one of history's most incredible rescue missions unfolded. Haise brings readers into the heart of his experience on the challenging mission--considered NASA's finest hour--and reflects on his life and career as an Apollo astronaut. In this personal and illuminating memoir, illustrated with black-and-white photographs, Haise takes an introspective look at the thrills and triumphs, regrets and disappointments, and lessons that defined his career, including his years as a military fighter pilot and his successful 20-year NASA career that would have made him the sixth man on the moon had Apollo 13 gone right. Many of his stories navigate fear, hope, and resilience, like when he crashed while ferrying a World War II air show aircraft and suffered second and third-degree burns over 65 percent of his body, putting him in critical condition for ten days before making a heroic recovery. In Never Panic Early , Haise explores what it was like to work for NASA in its glory years and demonstrates a true ability to deal with the unexpected.

    Great book, as described. When USPS lost the package, the seller responded to my message with some suggestions about how to locate it. I put in some time with the USPS bureaucracy and eventually the package arrived.

    This Bible was practically brand new but not in the box. It still had the Cambridge warranty card, and the ribbons were still tucked from the factory. It is an excellent Bible in excellent condition, and at a great price too. It was not packaged very well, simply slipped into a plastic shipping bag and sealed (no other protection) but it did arrive undamaged. Shipping was super fast. However, there were initials imprinted on the cover, not mentioned in the listing. Otherwise, perfect!
