The names of the astronauts will forever be inscribed in our history books, but the names of the entire Apollo launch support team at the Kennedy Space Center and the thousands who supported Apollo elsewhere will only be known to a few. It is the technical team, the engineers, analysts, programmers, and yes, even the secretaries and typists who kept the administrative side moving, who are portrayed in this book. This combined team, after achieving an unbelievable goal of putting men on the moon within the 10-year limit set by Kennedy, performed in an exemplary manner. Some believe they were the greatest technological team ever assembled, achieving the most difficult challenge of all mankind to date. The Apollo team faced challenges and temptations like anyone else in the 60's: divorce, affairs, deaths, three shifts of work schedules, as well as women's issues, but they also knew how to have fun along the way. Choruses were formed, humorous skits brought laughs to facility dinners, and tennis bets of a lifetime played out on an Apollo stage with human lives on the line, etched with historic backdrops. What was it like to be a part of this history-making event of launching our astronauts to the moon? Fasten your seat belts and journey back to the 60's for a front-row seat by someone who experienced it all.… (más)

Martha Lemasters had /has the guts and determination that i can only wish i had....the type of woman i admire from afar and love having as a friend.
Times were quite different when she divorced, a big no-no in itself, and then as a single mother went to work! Starting as a secretary she worked her way into writing the PR for IBM/NASA in a make dominated world. The world of astronauts.
The history she watched happen and the people she encountered on that journey is simply amazing. The bonus? The truth she tells.....about the workplace, the social atmosphere and more importantly....about herself.
Martha Lemasters has THE STEP. " it's an old southern saying for someone who is confident, intelligent, someone on top of things, a doer not a taker. Someone you can count on to get things done. ONE WHO WILL TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY AND MAKE THE MOST OF IT." ( )
