Another pick of The Planetary Society Book Club – this for April 2024. As the cover states, this book features firsthand astronaut accounts from all 135 missions. It’s loaded with photos too!
We landed on the Moon! Like, today – as I write this! Intuitive Machines, a US-based company, successfully landed the Odysseus lander on the Moon. This is the first private company to land on the Moon and the first US landing on the Moon in over 50 years! That may be why this book is the Planetary Society book club pick for February 2024.
My first book of 2024! I picked this one up shortly after joining The Planetary Society and finding out they do a monthly book club. As the title suggests, it’s about the first six women selected by NASA for the Space Shuttle program. How does one not spoil a work of non-fiction? Is 2024 off to a good start? Read on and find out!
