Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In October 1968 Donn Eisele flew with fellow astronauts Walt Cunningham and Wally Schirra into Earth orbit in Apollo 7. The first manned mission in the Apollo program and the first manned flight after a fire during a launch pad test killed three astronauts in early 1967, Apollo 7 helped rest…art NASA's manned-spaceflight program. Known to many as a goofy, lighthearted prankster, Eisele worked his way from the U.S. Naval Academy to test pilot school and then into the select ranks of America's prestigious astronaut corps. He was originally on the crew of Apollo 1 before being replaced due to injury. After that crew died in a horrific fire, Eisele was on the crew selected to return Americans to space. Despite the success of Apollo 7, Eisele never flew in space again, as divorce and a testy crew commander led to the three astronauts being labeled as troublemakers. Unbeknownst to everyone, after his retirement as a technical assistant for manned spaceflight at NASA's Langley Research Center in 1972, Eisele wrote in detail about his years in the air force and his time in the Apollo program. Long after his death, Francis French discovered Eisele's unpublished memoir, and Susie Eisele Black (Donn's widow) allowed French access to her late husband's NASA files and personal effects. Readers can now experience an Apollo story they assumed would never be written as well as the story behind its discovery. Purchase the audio edition.

One of three astronauts who in 1968 successfully flew the first manned flight of Apollo spacecraft that eventually took man to the Moon. He died December 2, 1987 of an apparent heart attack while on a business trip to Japan. He was 57 years old and lived in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. During the eleven day mission, the a Major in the Air Force, he sat in the middle couch of the Apollo 7 spacecraft between Captain Walter M. Shirra, Jr. of the Navy and R. Walter Cunningham, a civilian astronaut. They circled the earth every 90 minutes in an egg-shaped orbit ranging from 140 to 183 miles in altitude. Their mission was to check out safety and reliability of the spacecraft and the Saturn 1-B rocket that took them into orbit. Theirs was the first flight after the accident in which three astronauts, Virgil Grissom, Edward M. White and Roger B. Chaffee, were killed on the launch pad in 1967. The success of Apollo 7 brought renewed confidence in our nation's space program. The next mission, Apollo 8, successfully orbited the Moon, as a prelude to the Apollo 11 manned landing there in June 1969. Described as the most methodical and introspective of the crew of Apollo 7, he was the navigator and, as such, his primary task was to check out the intricate guidance and navigational systems of the craft. The three astronauts became well known for their daily 10-minute television shows from space, and the TV industry subsequently presented them with an Emmy Award. He was born in Columbus, Ohio, on June 23, 1930. His first name was given to him by his mother who liked Don but who added the second "n" so he wouldn't be confused as as "Donald." He was a high school track star and was proud of the fact that he had entered theUnited States Naval Academy through a competitive examination, rather than by a political appointment. He subsequently went through Test Pilot School and received a Master of Science degree from the United States Air Force Institute of Technology in Dayton, Ohio. He became a project engineer and experimental test pilot at the Air Force Special Weapons Center, Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. While still in Test Pilot School, he filed the first of many applications for astronaut training. He finally won appointment in 1963. The Apollo 7 mission was his only space flight. He left the Space Agency shortly afterward, retired from the Air Force as a Colonel in 1972 and became director of the Peace Corps in Thailand.
