Synopsis
NASA astronaut Michael Collins was the first man to walk in space and also piloted the first manned craft to land on the moon.
Atlantic
Collins's account of the five years that went into the testing of the men for Apollo, the designing of the spaceship and the equipment, the apprehension of what might go wrong is a magnificent piece of exposition, alive with humor, candid in its anxiety, very sensitive in the appreciation of the men involved. This is a splendid and affirmative book.
