5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book!
Like all of Springer Paxis Books I knew I had to have this one and I was not dissapointed in this one. The book covers all aspects of the program from launch vehicles to launch facilities as well as the astronauts themselves!! It goes into the design studies and concepts, as well as the selection process for the astronauts.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Reads like a text book.
I was looking for more of a story, but there is a lot of information and history in this book.

This review is from: Project Mercury: NASA's First Manned Space Programme (Springer Praxis Books / Space Exploration) (Hardcover)
Catchpole's precise and delightful history of the developments that led to Project Mercury contributes both heat and light on the subject for the jet avation/space buff. Writing with obvious enthusiasm, with a scrupulous attention to detail, and clear descriptions of design principles, Catchpole leads the reader on a journey from the early days of rocket experimentation to the selection of the seven Mercury astronauts. A joy to read - very highly recommended.
