description

This book is about the beginning of the United States space program and astronaut training. It gives an insider's view of the rigorous astronaut selection process with an emphasis on using military pilots. The progress of the space program, the perks, the politics and hoopla all have a place in this book. There is also a wonderful nod to the test pilots at Edwards AFB..
