It's an exciting account of an exciting era."--Chicago Tribune "Some reporters get to cover the story of a generation. Count Jim Schefter among this lucky bunch--the tale is still thrilling."--Denver Rocky Mountain News From the Trade Paperback edition.

Synopsis
The messy and glorious saga of the golden years of the American space program, told in never-before-revealed detail by a man who was there. In 1963, a young reporter named Jim Schefter was given a dream job: cover America's race to the moon. Since the astronauts were under contract toLife,Schefter's employer, for their stories, he was given unparalleled access to the lives of all the players at NASA. Of course, for PR reasons he could not write a fraction of what he saw then. Now, at last, he can tell it all. As incredible as the "official" story of the space program is, the true, behind-the-scenes tale is more thrilling, entertaining, and ultimately, more ennobling. There were vicious battles between the German (often ex-Nazi) rocket pioneers and the younger American engineers; feuds and practical jokes; astronauts whose private lives were considerably more colorful than has been portrayed; many near-fatal accidents other than Apollo 13; political chicanery from the Kremlin and the White House; and dozens of smart, brave, larger-than-life individuals pulling off the greatest exploration in the history of humankind. No one could tell this story as fully and as well as Jim Schefter. Given full access to NASA archives and the personal papers of many of the participants, both Russian and American, trusted by the astronauts and mission controllers who want the real story passed on to history, Schefter brings to life a more innocent, heroic era in all its bravado and complexity. From drunken astronaut escapades and groupies to near disasters and ferocious political infighting, the race to the moon was anything but the smooth journey of popular imagination.

- e***g (23)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Último añoCompra verificadaArrived very promptly for custom work. Package could use "fragile" on second side, but was very nice and well protected. Could have specified material type in description to avoid asking, as photo looks like metal, but actually wood, which was fine. Own fault for not clearly communicating two last names next to each other. Will still make nice gift.PERSONALIZED CUSTOM ENGRAVED TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE ORNAMENT MADE USA APRIL 8, 2024 (#266684063670)
