Chaikin's book is excellent. Two books on Apollo that I'd recommend:
1. How Apollo Flew to the Moon, by W David Woods. Don't be put off by the cheesy cover, this book goes into a lot of technical detail and does a pretty good job of explaining things.
2. Digital Apollo by David A. Mindell. A detailed look at the use of digital technology in Apollo, particularly for guidance. Lots of chewy technical detail.
These books would definitely appeal to many HN readers with an interest in spaceflight.
