What I Read April

 I am linking up with Modern Mrs Darcy. Check out what everyone else is reading. I have accepted that I am in a season of slow reading.  Does that happen to anyone else?

Challenger by Adam Higginbotham

I read this as the astronauts were finally being brought back to earth.  I just kept thinking about how it was amazing NASA has been able to have any successful missions.  I think the quote below sums up the Challenger disaster and this book.

This is a very detailed book.  I probably wouldn't have picked this one on my own, but I read this as part of a book club. I learned a lot about the Challenger and NASA's space program. It was eye opening and how could this be allowed to happen.  I also learned some new words.

The ethos of there is more to this story and Adam delivers - the slow creep of acceptable risk, over confidence in technology, the politics.
