My #spaceracereading deep dive is progressing more slowly than I hoped, but I‘m still enjoying it immensely. This memoir by Jim Lovell (commander of Apollo 13) was thoroughly informative and compellingly written. I was pleased with how much more I understood about the Perseverance landing because of this book. I‘m looking forward to reading Gene Krantz‘s view of this mission when I get to his memoir.

This is a great movie! Loved it!
Got a care package from my mum... She loves NASA! I asked for her ONE most recommended book and this was the result.
“Counting on Katherine” is a B/NF , PB that was a Cook Prize winner in 2019. This awesome book emphasizes the importance of a African American woman in 1961. Katherine Johnson calculated the trajectory of NASA‘s first trip into space. This would be an great RA to bring out during space exploration. Teachingbooks.net offfers a link to a lesson plan, students can build their own straw rockets and try to get them to the finish line. #UCFLAE3414SP20
