One of the books that I most enjoyed, that I got tremendous joy out of -- of all the books -- was Gene Kranz's "Failure is not an Option"

Of the many things I love about Apollo 13 is that even without knowing any of these details, there's vibrant, palpable unity thats felt when reading/watching even surface level recaps. Patriotism, science and optimism coagulated to unify a country to a degree I can't say I've seen since in North America. (I'd say Russia also felt a similar combination around their space programs)
