The Big Roads: The Untold Story of the Engineers,… af Earl Swift
Oddly interesting, especially the parts on how the roads impacted people.
An interesting although horrendous reminder of the of evil in this world and how so much of it is covered up because of greed and politics. The sad truth is that this happened in so many places, times and ways that we will never know. And those who paid the price are still screaming for retribution from their graves.
A very enjoyable book covering the history of NASA and the Apollo space program. The close up insight on the lunar rover conception, design and missions made for an excellent read. The included astronaut dialog along with maps and many images gives a better understanding of the risks so few people have experienced, and how important the rovers were to the final three landings. With the Artemis program under way, it's exciting to think about future footprints and rover tracks running alongside those historic Apollo EVAs.… (mere)
An excellent book about a n unjustly overlooked part of the earls space program.
