Recensione:

In his career as an astronaut, Thomas Stafford saw it all: Gene Cernans fogged up pressure helmet, the mountains of the moon oh-so-close, a Soviet handshake in orbit. Stafford was truly one of those few who stood on the shoulders of giants and made history. --Tom Hanks

As American flight commander of the first ever rendezvous-in-space with the Soviets, Tom Stafford started raising the Iron Curtain. A great talent, a great careerand still involved! --Senator John Glenn

An intimate portrayal of space policy, especially its sometimes cantankerous, sometimes tranquil, but always interesting interactions between USA and USSR. --Roger D. Launius, NASA Chief Historian

L'autore:
