It is the technical team, the engineers, analysts, programmers, and yes, even the secretaries and typists who kept the administrative side moving, who are portrayed in this book. This combined team, after achieving an unbelievable goal of putting men on the moon within the 10-year limit set by Kennedy, performed in an exemplary manner. Some believe they were the greatest technological team ever assembled, achieving the most difficult challenge of all mankind to date. The Apollo team faced challenges and temptations like anyone else in the 60’s: divorce, affairs, deaths, three shifts of work schedules, as well as women’s issues, but they also knew how to have fun along the way. Choruses were formed, humorous skits brought laughs to facility dinners, and tennis bets of a lifetime played out on an Apollo stage with human lives on the line, etched with historic backdrops. What was it like to be a part of this history-making event of launching our astronauts to the moon? Fasten your seat belts and journey back to the 60’s for a front-row seat by someone who experienced it all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Growing Up in Florida\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: The Journey\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Early Space Program\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Apollo Begins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: My Life as a Secretary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: I Get Promoted to Writer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: A Time to Sing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Apollo 10\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9: I Become a Safety Hazard\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Let’s Slide\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 11: IBM’s Control Center\/Apollo 11 Dinner\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 12: The Match\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 13: And Along Came Jack\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 14: Countdown Demonstration Test. . .The Germans Arrive\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 15: IBM. . .Ready for Launch\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 16: Apollo 12 Through 17\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 17: 1975. . .We March\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morgan James Publishing llc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359803244887,"sku":"9781630477141","price":12.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781630477141.jpg?v=1754125756","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-step-one-woman-s-journey-to-finding-her-own-happiness-and-success-during-the-apollo-space-program-9781630477141","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
