John Zukowsky (Ed.), James N. Wood - 2001
Amazon: US

"From the prophetic vision of a lunar
voyage in Fritz Lang's science fiction film Woman in the Moon
to the multistage rocket that propelled astronauts to the
moon 40 years later, this bold, original work examines design
for space travel in both fantasy and reality. A breathtaking
look at the structures built to follow humankind's dreams
out into the cosmos, it accompanies an exhibition at the Art
Institute of Chicago and at the Museum of Flight in Seattle."

Christopher C. Kraft - 2001
Amazon:
US UK
Kraft was flight director for
Mercury and most of the Gemini missions. He became chief of
flight operations during Apollo launchings and later the head
of the Johnson Space Center. These memoirs range from the
early pre-NASA period of American rocketry to the creation
of NASA and on through the moon landings. He candidly discusses
the many behind-the-scenes battles and his impressions of
the major actors of the space program such as von Braun, John
Glenn and others.

"Is Peckerhead Hyphenated?"
Building the International Space Station
Vincent de Cordoba - 1999
Amazon: US
UK
"This is a true story about
the funny side of building the International Space Station.
The story is told around actual quotes from real people that
accurately, and often elegantly, describe what management
would call a 'character-building' situation. The characters
in this book are stand-ins.

Jupiter Odyssey : The Story
of Nasa's Galileo
David M. Harland- 2000
Amazon:
US UK
"Focusing on the Galileo
Mission, the story relates this remarkable spacecraft's protracted
gestation and the ordeal of its long haul out to Jupiter and
its ultimate triumph: five years exploration within the Jovian
system. The story spans a full quarter of a century, drawing
on the press conferences, technical papers and essays of engineers
and scientists involved in the mission which provide a real
sense of participation as the discoveries poured in - it brings
the mission of the Galileo spacecraft to life and provides
a more engaging account than would simply be achieved by recounting
scientific results." - Amazon
