The talented men (and later women) who worked in mission control at
what is now Johnson Space Center occupied a room located on the
third floor of Building 30, a room that at first glance looked like
just another auditorium in just another government building but
would eventually become known by many as "the Cathedral." These
members of the space program were the brightest of their
generation, making split-second decisions that determined the
success or failure of a mission. The flight controllers, each
supported by a staff of specialists, were the most visible part of
the operation, running the missions, talking to the heavens,
troubleshooting issues on board, and, ultimately, attempting to
bring everyone safely back home. None of NASA's storied
accomplishments would have been possible without these people.
Interviews with dozens of individuals who worked in the historic
third-floor mission control room bring the compelling stories to
life. Go, Flight! is a real-world reminder of where we have been
and where we could go again given the right political and social
climate. This paperback edition includes a new epilogue by the
authors about making the documentary Mission Control: The Unsung
Heroes of Apollo.
