Failure is Not An Option by Gene Kranz

Kranz was in the mission control center for every launch of the Gemini, Mercury, and Apollo programs. His up close and personal recollection of early days of the US Space program is a fascinating read.

One thing that struck me though. If we were just starting on the race to the moon today, I don’t think we’d ever get there. These guys took a lot of risks that just would not be allowed today.
