The All-American Guys is a no-holds-barred candid memoir by the former Marine aircraft jockey and physicist who became NASA's second civilian astronaut. Walter Cunningham reveals the astronauts in all their talents and their weaknesses in this dramatically modified and totally updated edition of your book that was considered an instantaneous common in its first model over 2 decades in the past. From its insider's view of the pervasive "astropolitics" that guided the working of the astronaut corps to its thoughtful discourse of the Columbia tragedy, The All-American Guys resonates with Cunningham's love for humanity's destiny in space which endures today. This isn't simply a "tell-all" book. It is also a story of the triumph of American heroes. Cunningham brings us in to the NASA training program and reveals what it takes physically and psychologically to be an astronaut. He poignantly relates the story of the devastating Apollo 1 hearth that needed the lives of astronauts Grissom, White, and Chaffee and his own later successful trip on Apollo 7--the longest, most ambitious, and most successful first test trip any new machine - ever before. This new model includes an upgrade of the manned space program and his "tell it like it is" observation of NASA's successes and failures. In addition, it includes commentary on the Shuttle disasters Of Challenger and Columbia and his views on what NASA should be doing to get back on track also to regain public support.
