Unlike other American astronauts, Virgil I. ""Gus""Grissom never
had the chance to publish his memoirs. Killed along with his crewin
a launch pad fire on January 27, 1967, Grissom also lost his chance
to walkon the moon and return to describe his journey. Others went
in his place. Thestories of the moon walkers are familiar. Less
appreciated are Grissom'scontributions. The international prestige
of winning the Moon Race cannotbe understated, and Grissom played a
pivotal and enduring role in securing thatlegacy for the United
States. Indeed, Grissom was first and foremost a ColdWarrior, a
member of the first group of Mercury astronauts whose goal it was
tobeat the Soviet Union into space and eventually to the moon.
Drawing on extensive interviews with fellow astronauts, NASA
engineers, family members, and friends of Gus Grissom, George
Leopold deliversa comprehensive and corrective account of
Grissom’s life that places his careerin the context of the Cold
War and the history of human spaceflight. Calculated Risk:
TheSupersonic Life and Times of Gus Grissom adds significantly to
ourunderstanding of that tumultuous and ultimately triumphant
period in American history.
