Product Description
Offering a compelling look inside the Space Shuttle missions that helped lay the groundwork for the Space Age from the perspective of those tasked with making them happen, 'Shuttle, Houston' explores the determined personalities, technological miracles, and eleventh-hour saves that have made human spaceflight possible. Relaying stories of missions (and their gruelling training) in vivid detail, Paul Dye, NASA's longest-serving Flight Director, examines some of the highest-stakes split-second decisions that the directors and astronauts were forced to make in a field where mistakes are unthinkable, where errors lead to the loss of national resources - and more importantly one's crew.
