Sample Book Insights:
#1 The human factor is what saves the crew of Apollo 13. It is what saves the crew of Apollo 13 when all the glittering technology seems useless.
#2 I was excited to be at the Cape Canaveral launch site, as I had been assigned to NASA to help with the American space program. I was shocked to see that the base looked like any other military base.
#3 I had never driven that fast on a military base in my life. I was thinking I had hitchhiked with a madman, or at least someone who had no concern about being pulled over by the Air Police for speeding and breaking every regulation in the book.
#4 The first orbiting satellite, Sputnik, was a shock to American pride. The reverberations of that little sphere were far-reaching. It sparked a massive federal education funding program, and the creation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
