The amazing memoir of astronaut Bill Pogue, long-time holder of the world record for most days in space. Praise from the experts... "Bill Pogue has had an amazing career: Oklahoma farm boy, Korean war fighter pilot, elite Thunderbird slot and wingman, mathematical whiz, and eighty-four days of science studies as a Skylab astronaut. He guides the reader through a half-century of technological advance, always in the forefront, but modestly so." -Mike Collins, Command Module Pilot, Apollo 11 "Bill has had a remarkable life, and his autobiography is a pleasure to read. He is a superb storyteller." -Alan Bean, Apollo 12 Astronaut, Fourth Man to Set Foot on the Moon "Bill Pogue successfully coped with the challenges of career and life, and he relates them in a captivating narrative. My memory is consistent with his recollections. Thanks for some pleasant memories. Well done!" -Ed Gibson, Science Pilot, Skylab 4 "This is one of the two best memoirs ever written by an astronaut. He packages his adventure-filled life into easy-to-read, inspiring tales that move swiftly." -Walter J. Boyne, Author/Historian; Former Director, National Air & Space Museum; Enshrinee, National Aviation Hall of Fame "A country boy from the heartland of America surpasses his wildest dreams in aviation and space.
