In Carrying the Fire, Michael Collins conveys, in a very personal way, the drama, beauty, and humor of the adventure of reaching the moon. He also traces his development from his first flight experiences in the air force, through his days as a test pilot, to his Apollo 11 spacewalk, presenting an evocative description of the joys of flight as well as a new perspective on time, light, and movement from someone who has seen the fragile Earth from the other side of the moon.

Probably my favorite history from NASA's astronaut class, beginning with Air Force, through test pilot training, astronaut acceptance, Gemini 10, how he was removed from Apollo 8, and moved to Apollo 11. Told with detail and humor. A great listen.

One of the best astronaut memoirs

Mike Collins takes us along for the ride from daily life at NASA in the heady early days of manned spaceflight through his iconic Gemini 10 and historic Apollo 11 achievements and shares his unique perspective. I wish I'd found this book years ago, but it has lost no impact over time.

1st person that can't be beat, and performed well

This was an absolutely fantastic journey as Michael Collins leads you through his aeronautic and astronautic careers. His language is casual, and the excitement (to those who have a pulse) can be found throughout every chapter, just as their extraterrestrial days were jam packed with activity.

I truly cannot express how much I enjoyed this! Whatever shall I read next?

Wow!

Michael Collins, science nerd, and famed astronaut writes his magnificent story with humor and insight. The narrator sadly turned him into a sarcastic person which doesn't seem consistent with the man or the tone of the book. Odd. Still highly, highly recommended.

Perhaps the Best Astronaut autobiography?

I really enjoyed listening to Michael Colin's book. From the forward to the end, it successfully achieved the goal to present Mike's experiences and an insight into what Mike achieved and a detailed look at what it took to get you the moon and back.

Very interesting, well written and well read book

Mr. Collin’s wordsmiths his recollections with the humor and skills of a modern day Samual Clemmons. The difference is that Collin’s really was Huck Finn. This story of the first journey to the Moon seems in the style I would expect from the master story teller himself if Twain had been on Apollo 11.

Mark Twain goes to the Moon

If the Apollo 11 mission is a topic that interests you, give this book a shot. Collins does a great job of walking through the whole process from being selected, training, and finally the mission itself.

Informative Read

I highly recommend this read/listen. This book is a real life, first person account, of an astronaut’s journey and dedication from test pilot to space conquest.

If you ever struggled believing the NASA space programs legitimacy, read this and free your mind.
