Schirra's Space (Now Hear This)

Rating:
Summary: An excellent biography from one of space's true pioneers
Review: Wally Schirra does an excellent job in giving his first hand account of the NASA program, missions, and astronauts. His opinions really open you up to some insightful thoughts about the space program and those who were involved in it. The book is a quick read and feels as if Wally is talking right to you as he bounces forward and backward in history through his numerous stories. And a plus, the book came autographed from Wally himself!

Summary: Schirra's Space
Review: Wally Shirra doesn't lack for confidence. Then again how would a person, without the self confidence of a test pilot, strap himself to a rocket? A great insider's view of the program. However for all his confidence Shirra goes out of his way to not cast a single stone at the many people he crossed paths with through out his career. A class act. No new real information is uncovered through this book. Just a fun read.
