Chaikin is terrific on the astronauts. Kranz is staring at me from my bookshelf, but I've not yet opted to read him. Let me add 'Apollo' by Murray and Cox to your list. It's focused on the Apollo engineers and managers, including great discussions of how they re-engineered things after Apollo 1, and of the behind-the-scenes work on Apollo 13, as well as many other elements.
- wazoox 10y agoThe Kranz book is really great. The LEM had its problems, too :)
- vermontdevil 10y agoEven though it had problems, the engine design was incorporated into Merlin engines under SpaceX later on. Apollo technology - the gift that keeps on giving.
