A wonderful book covering more than just the development of space travel, but all of the politics and societal nuances occurring around the dream of going to the moon and beyond. A book filled with hope, but yet left me feeling depressed as all of the hopes and dreams of a better world by the end of the century have been abandoned.

No notes. Loved every moment of it, whether I was laughing or crying or rushing to write down something I wanted to remember.
