Finished Gene Cernan's "Last man on the moon" last night. I'm not generally in to biographies but really enjoyed it. Very well written and while not technical does explain stuff well, coupled with very good personal views. Surprisingly good descriptions of what his wife went through too considering he wrote it years after they divorced.

Interesting that he really didn't seem to think much of Buzz Aldrin, was that a common view?


Enjoyed it so much I went with Kindle's recommendations and bought John Youngs "Forever Young" last night. Only read the preface so far, which is by Mike Collins who's book "Carrying the fire" I also enjoyed some time back.
