Pimsleur courses are great, including this one, but on a cell phone hard to know from the tiny font on the thumbnail which lessons are in which "book." I go back and review a lot and need to see those numbers.

This was a good book and well narrated. It has been a year since I listened to it, but one takeaway was that Ike was interested in peaceful usefulness of a space program, and was not easily goaded into doing a manned space program for show, partly because of his fiscal conservatism and his focus on practical uses. Even though the author didn't exactly say it this way, it seems the political opposition wanted to do whatever was un-Eisenhower, which is partly why the space program became what it became. Even though it wasn't what Eisenhower aimed for, a lot of groundwork for it had been laid under his administration. (I remember those days, but I was in elementary school then and certainly didn't have all the context that is given in this book. It's good to be able to put that together with what bits and pieces I do remember.)

Manned space missions got a lot of headlines, understandably enough, but were almost a sideshow to the scientific program. I'm old enough to remember Sputnik, but a lot of this story of unmanned missions passed me by as it was happening. I read headlines and not a whole lot more. So this book was a great way to get caught up, and also to learn about the tussle between the manned and unmanned space projects. It follows the careers and personal lives of people like James van Allen and his student George Ludwig to help one see how the programs intersected with their lives. Very well done all around.
