Sample Book Insights:
#1 In 1961, President John F. Kennedy committed the United States to landing a man on the Moon by the end of the decade. The Soviet Union was close to landing its own crew on the Moon, which mattered because the nation that landed the first men on the Moon would win the Space Race and be in position to land a man on the Moon first.
#2 Borman was in charge of testing the command module, and he was scheduled to do so until NASA officials decided to send him back to Houston. His crewmates were stuck with the module.
#3 The last time Borman had received a drop everything call was the darkest day in NASA’s history, when a fire broke out in the command module during a simulated countdown on the launchpad in Florida. The three astronauts died in the fire.
#4 In 1967, Borman was called to testify before Congress about the cause of the fire. He was offered the opportunity to take temporary leave from the astronaut program to head up the team tasked with implementing design changes to the command module.
