This is a worthwhile and enthralling book to read.

Having read his story, I strongly recommend it because John Hornung was among those pioneers that wrote the book on building, designing, testing, and developing
rockets and human spaceflight.  His memoir is an important treasure of information that would serve us all well to know, understand, and remember.

(John’s) delightfully entertaining memoirs of his association with the NASA space program have something for every level of reader. The graphics and NASA photos of the vehicles associated with the space launching vehicles are a treasure. This look at his first career as a space scientist is exciting and inspiring, sprinkled with hilarious moments of fun.
