An excellent histroy of the Mercury MissionsBy dcshalThis book is a very readable and enjoyable history of the Mercury missions of the early 1960's. It tells the story not only of the six manned missions but also of the many preparations and design decisions that had to occur before the space craft could be declared safe. Not only does the book cover the engineering preparation but it also covers the training the astronauts had to go through before they could be declared ready for flight. One aspect that the book passes over without much comment are the tensions arising from Scott Carpenter's flight on Aurora 7 when the amount of fuel consumed during the flight was significantly more than anticipated.This book is certainly worth its price.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
