July Selection - Rocket Men by Robert Kurson

On Tuesday July 30, we'll be discussing Rocket Men: The Daring Odyssey of Apollo 8 and the Astronauts Who Made Man's First Journey to the Moon by Robert Kurson. Copies are available for sale at {pages}. Discussion starts at 7 PM, but I'll be there at 6:30 with some surprises including Tang cocktails. Feel free to start discussing the book below, but if you post spoilers before July 30, please indicate in your post. I'm hoping this mechanism will be especially useful for those who can't make it to club. Also, if you discover interesting supplementary material on the web or relevant local events, feel free to post here.

    The 2nd half of the 2nd 2 hour episode of PBS's Chasing the Moon is almost fully devoted to Apollo 8. The footage of Susan Borman at home is devastating. It's almost essential viewing after reading this book.

    CSPAN book TV has an episode with author Robert Kurson and all three of the Apollo 8 astronauts. I haven't seen it yet, but I plan to. The related videos at the bottom of the page look like they could be interesting as well.
