About this product
Product Information
The talented men (and later women) who worked in mission control, the room located on the third floor of Building 30 would become known by many as "The Cathedral". None of NASA's storied accomplishments would have been possible without the people who worked there. Interviews with dozens of individuals who worked in the historic third-floor mission control room bring the compelling stories to life.

Reviews
"Those of us who worked in the MOCR [Mission Operations Control Room] were privileged to be in the right place at the right time in American history. We didn't know that sending men to the moon was impossible, so we somehow managed to do just that. We lived in a time when our vision was not limited by how far our eyes could see, but only by what our minds could dream. Authors Rick Houston and Milt Heflin are helping keep that dream alive in Go, Flight! "--Jerry Bostick, chief of the Apollo-era Flight Dynamics Branch, "This book represents the most detailed account to date of how a group of ordinary men from rural America and smokestack towns became an extraordinary team that built the future. As well as tales of technical achievement, you will find the human stories about the band of brothers that formed Mission Control, and who became the best they could be. It is essential reading for any student of Apollo-era NASA or of management excellence."--Keith Haviland, co-executive producer of Last Man on the Moon , a documentary film about Apollo 17 commander Gene Cernan, "Milt Heflin did it all, from helping recover Apollo crews returning from the moon to overseeing the first, make-or-break repair of the Hubble Space Telescope. Heflin's insight and experience shine in his and coauthor Rick Houston's Go, Flight! , a firsthand glimpse into the fascinating world of mission control."--William Harwood, CBS News space reporter, "I experienced almost every emotion possible while working in mission control. Authors Rick Houston and Milt Heflin have taken me right back into the heat of battle with their outstanding book."--Steve Bales, Guidance officer during the Apollo 11 lunar descent
