I have the Lovell, Kraft and Kranz books which I imagine all give a fairly balanced view of Apollo 13 and the work put in by the different FDs and their teams - such a pity that most of those who have seen the film won't pick up any of the books on the subject. As a youngster, I wasn't that taken by space flight, it's only in later life I've become far more interested in the history..
Someone telling me yesterday just how remarkably and technologically clever the little drones buzzing round the neighbourhood are. Yeah? They are as nothing compared to Mercury/Gemini/Apollo and the Russian programmes in the 1960s.
