Apollo 1 : the tragedy that put us on the moon / by Walters, Ryan S.,1973-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 251-270) and index.The foundation: early race for space -- The beginning: Mercury -- The bridge: Gemini -- The goal: Apollo -- The fire: "we're burning up!" -- The investigations: "stop the witch hunt" -- The politics: A Webb of intrigue -- The moon: "the Eagle has landed""On January 27, 1967, astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee climbed into a new spacecraft perched atop a large Saturn rocket at Kennedy Space Center in Florida for a routine dress rehearsal of their upcoming launch into orbit, then less than a month away. All three astronauts were experienced pilots and had dreams of one day walking on the moon, but little did they know, nor did anyone else, that once they entered the spacecraft that cold winter day they would never leave it alive. The Apollo program would be perilously close to failure before it ever got off the ground. But rather than dooming the space program, this tragedy caused the spacecraft to be completely overhauled, creating a stellar flying machine to achieve the program's primary goal: putting man on the moon. Apollo 1 is about America fulfilling its destiny of man setting foot on the moon. It's also about the three American heroes who lost their lives in the tragedy, but whose lives were not lost in vain"--

Apollo pilot : the memoir of astronaut Donn Eisele / by Eisele, Donn,1930-1987,author.; French, Francis,author of introduction, etc.editor.; Eisele Black, Susie,author.; Teitel, Amy Shira,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 136-138) and index.Foreword by Francis French -- Launch morning -- Beginnings -- Astronaut selection -- Going back to Houston -- After the fire -- Liftoff -- Rendezvous -- The grandeur of earth -- Return to earth -- Splashdown -- Home -- After the flight -- Afterword by Susie Eisele Black -- Historical overview by Amy Shira Teitel.In October 1968 Donn Eisele flew with fellow astronauts Walt Cunningham and Wally Schirra into Earth orbit in Apollo 7 . The first manned mission in the Apollo program and the first manned flight after a fire during a launch pad test killed three astronauts in early 1967, Apollo 7 helped restart NASA's manned-spaceflight program. Known to many as a goofy, lighthearted prankster, Eisele worked his way from the U.S. Naval Academy to test pilot school and then into the select ranks of America's prestigious astronaut corps. He was originally on the crew of Apollo 1 before being replaced due to injury. After that crew died in a horrific fire, Eisele was on the crew selected to return Americans to space. Despite the success of Apollo 7 , Eisele never flew in space again, as divorce and a testy crew commander led to the three astronauts being labeled as troublemakers. Unbeknownst to everyone, after his retirement as a technical assistant for manned spaceflight at NASA's Langley Research Center in 1972, Eisele wrote in detail about his years in the air force and his time in the Apollo program. Long after his death, Francis French discovered Eisele's unpublished memoir, and Susie Eisele Black (Donn's widow) allowed French access to her late husband's NASA files and personal effects. Readers can now experience an Apollo story they assumed would never be written as well as the story behind its discovery.
