Apollo and America's Moon Landing Program - Moonport: A History of Apollo Launch Facilities and Operations - Saturn 1, Saturn 1B, and Saturn V Rocket Launch Pads, Launch Complex 39 (NASA SP-4204)

Good reading if you are a fan of the history of spaceflight. Good source for understanding the rationale behind the design of a monumental, historic construction program. Gives personal insight into the decisions by historical figures at NASA. I recommend it highly.

Overall, I really liked reading this book. It is fairly technical and dry, but that is what I expected. I grew up during the period detailed in this book. I was entralled by everything "space race" related during that time. I was 16 years old when we landed on the moon, and it remains one of the highlight periods of my life to this day. This book filled in a lot of the gaps that I didn't know about the process of building the JFK space port and the vehicles that departed from it. For anyone genuinely interested in what it took to get to the moon, (and we really did do it!) this is a book that should be on your "to read" list.

This rather hefty tome describes how the architecture that supported the Apollo program was at times as much of an engineering effort as the moon shot itself. The text is quite readable even if it is exhaustive in its detail.

My husband worked at KSC on the Apollo Program. I was thrilled to find the book on Amazon. He was very happy to receive the book . I plan to read it when he is finished. Amazon is a wonderful source for just about anything you want to find. This is about the 4th time I have purchased something on Amazon. And by all means not the last time I will purchase anything on Amazon. Prompt delivery was also an A+++++. I rate Amazon also A+++++. Georgia L. Dvorak [email protected]

Damn good read if you ask me. The only thing it was missing was the Apollo 9 Preflight timeline.Even so 5 Stars!

Very detailed read and describes an amazing piece of historical engineering & planning in what was without doubt the greatest endeavor by man to date.

I worked at KSC and Cape Canavareal during the Apollo program. This is very well done and very accurate

Great source for technical and historical info. Any space nerd like me will love this resource.

Stampato veramente male. Capisco che sia un'edizione rimasterizzata dell'originale, ma in ufficio faccio fotocopie migliori.Sconsiglio se siete amanti del libro stampato. Da prendere solo se interessati al contenuto, ma la lettura innervosisce un po' per via della scarsa qualità di stampa

Une passionnante plongée dans un côté un peu oublié et peu documenté des infrastructures de lancement des fusées du programme spatial US.
