This review is from: Don Lind, Mormon Astronaut (Hardcover)
I met Don Lind a few weeks before Apollo 11 was launched. I watched him for years, wondering if he would ever get his chance to go into space -- he finally did. At the time he was in the astronaut corps longer than anyone else before actually going into space. He joined NASA in 1966 and flew in the Challenger in 1985, not long before the Challenger explosion.
I longed to get a copy of this book.
When I did, I was disappointed. It is a simple book. It is not as well written as it could have been. He often goes on tangents and soap boxes.
However, the book has a lot about it that makes it worthwhile.
Lind often shares thoughts about his faith, his spirituality and the Mormon Church. The Non-Mormon will occasionally grow tired of this, but most will admire his faith and his willingness to involve it in his life as an astronaut.
