reviewed Moon Lander: How We Developed the Apollo Lunar Module on October 07, 2012 Moon Lander: How We Developed the Apollo Lunar Module
A fascinating book. Being in the aviation safety business, the discussion of the Apollo 1 fire really hit home. Kelly wrote "if we were so obtuse about fire, how many other serious hazards had also escaped our faulty vision?" Still good words to consider 50 years on. Another interesting thing about this engineering story is that the potential show stoppers were just as likely to be related to project management as they were to be linked to engineering. Effective management was as important as brilliant engineering when it came to success in the Apollo program. I recommend this book to anyone interested in the space program, engineering history, and lessons in project management.
