Description
Wally Schirra Signed Book: Schirra's Space. (Boston: Quinlan Press, 1988). Written with Richard N. Billings. Original first edition. Signed on the half title page in black felt tip: "Wally Schirra". Hardbound in a dust jacket, octavo, 227 pages, illustrated. Fine.This book provides a unique perspective on America's space program from one of its earliest and most charismatic pioneers. Schirra, who holds the distinction of being the only astronaut to fly in the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs, offers readers not only a chronicle of his own missions but also a candid look at the inner workings of NASA during the formative years of space exploration. The significance of Schirra's Space lies in its author's firsthand experiences and his ability to convey the exhilaration, challenges, and camaraderie of spaceflight with humor and insight. Schirra's narratives of his Mercury-Atlas 8, Gemini 6, and Apollo 7 missions are enriched with anecdotes that capture the human element of space exploration, from the intense preparation and training to the playful pranks among astronauts. From the Jeremy Theoret/ Apollospace Collection
