I've read several books about the Apollo program. Sadly, the focus of those books is always on budgets, management, personalities, and politics. Just a few technical tidbits are thrown in here and there.

Personally, I'm much more interested in how problems were identified and overcome than how The Trench was organized and how astronauts liked to speed in their corvettes.

I would recommend _Apollo_ by Charles Murray and Catherine Bly Cox. It covers the program from the perspective of the engineers who were involved and the technical problems they had to overcome. The book is currently out of print but is available for the Kindle.

Thank you for the recommendation:

I have the book! While it's a worthy book and I enjoyed reading it, it is not written by an engineer or scientist and comes from a lay perspective. There are a few great tidbits in it, like how to determine the amount of fuel left in a tank at 0 gee, but you had to read a lot of pages to find those nuggets.

I think there are a few that are more technical if that's what you mean:

* Stages to Saturn

* Digital Apollo

* The Apollo Guidance Computer

The last one may be too boringly technical. Some parts can be a slog even for me who breathe that stuff.

thank you!
