About this listen

 From going to middle school with the astronaut’s kids, to covering the Apollo 11, 12, 13, & 15 missions onsite at the Manned Spacecraft Center with the news media, to a 42 year career with NASA (spent at JSC, KSC, & NASA HQS), followed by serving as an officer on the NASA Alumni League-JSC Board of Directors, Herb Baker has spent most of his life involved with NASA, supporting the Space Shuttle, ISS, Constellation, and Orion Programs as well as Flight Operations, including support to the Astronaut Office.

From the Apollo missions to the groundbreaking Artemis program that aims to return humanity to the lunar surface, this book chronicles the evolution of NASA through the eyes of someone who lived it. With vivid recollections, the author shares behind-the-scenes stories of the triumphs and tragedies that helped shape the course of space exploration.

Whether you’re a space enthusiast, a history buff, or someone fascinated by the human spirit's relentless pursuit of the unknown, From Apollo to Artemis provides an insider’s perspective on NASA’s most ambitious endeavors. The author’s personal anecdotes, combined with historical context, create a rich narrative that captures the excitement, dedication, and innovation that define NASA.

A variety of personal anecdotes about working in the space program from somebody who wasn’t an astronaut or engineer. Some of the history is well known, but there were quite a few stories that I hadn’t read in any other books.
The virtual narrator needs more work: while perfectly comprehensible, its inflection is often unnatural and it mispronounced some names.
