Synopsis:

Interviews with twelve astronauts reveal their views on the space program, NASA, and the future of space exploration

Reviews: The 20th anniversary of the first manned lunar landing in 1969 is sure to spawn a series of commemorative books. This is one of them. Another is Charles Murray & Catherine Cox's Apollo ( LJ 6/15/89).-- Ed. The format used is that of an oral interview; each is preceded by a pedestrian photo of the astronaut and an equally pedestrian biographical sketch. What follows is a verbatim text of the interviewer's questions and the subject's responses. Occasionally, there are interesting insights, but overall this contains the sort of information available in earlier astronaut memoirs such as Men From Earth by Buzz Aldrin with Malcolm McConnell ( LJ 6/15/89) and Michael Collins's Liftoff ( LJ 8/88).
