Space Flight
Lost Moon: The
Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13 by Jim Lovell and Jeffery
Kluger.
In short...
But I recommend this book to all those
interested in the Apollo program, and those wishing
to know what kind of bravery it takes to have the right
stuff in the face of disaster. This book is unevenly
written. Some parts flow well, but one is advised to
skip over some sections to get to the "the good parts."

The Millennial
Project - Colonizing the Galaxy by Marshall T. Savage.
In short...
Marshall T. Savage believes that we
must colonize space to preserve the bounty of life on
Earth, which seems at high risk of eventual doom if
we don't take positive steps soon. This thought is certainly
not unusual, but Mr. Savages proposals will be new and
exciting to most readers. (Reviewed May 1995 by Glen
Wilkins)
