I spent my career working behind the scenes on special projects with the Government so I know the thrill you speak of when a project comes together, even for the Accountants; since of course, I was never responsible for getting a man on the Moon like you. I can only imagine what a thrill that must have been and continues to be to this day. I look forward to reading your book and passing it on to my children, even though they're adults were not even born then and will never know how exciting an accomplishment this was at the time, and still is for those of us who are old enough to remember. Again, I look forward to receiving and reading your book, and keep jotting down those things as you remember them for the next book and the next launch.
