Fred Haise
The extraordinary autobiography of astronaut Fred Haise, one of only twenty-four men to fly to the moon.
In the gripping Never Panic Early, Fred Haise, Lunar Module Pilot for Apollo 13, offers a detailed firsthand account of when disaster struck three days into his mission to the moon. An oxygen tank exploded, a crewmate uttered the now iconic words, “Houston, we’ve had a problem here,” and the world anxiously watched as one of history’s most incredible rescue missions unfolded. Haise brings listeners into the heart of his experience on the challenging mission—considered NASA’s finest hour—and reflects on his life and career as an Apollo astronaut.
In this personal and illuminating memoir, Haise takes an introspective look at the thrills and triumphs, regrets and disappointments, and lessons that defined his career, including his years as a military fighter pilot and his successful twenty-year NASA career that would have made him the sixth man on the moon had Apollo 13 gone right.
Many of his stories navigate fear, hope, and resilience, like when he crashed while ferrying a World War II air show aircraft and suffered second and third-degree burns over sixty-five percent of his body, putting him in critical condition for ten days before making a heroic recovery. In Never Panic Early, Haise explores what it was like to work for NASA in its glory years and demonstrates a true ability to deal with the unexpected.

Very good
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
A lot of technical information that is often unexplained. Not a lot of detail on the human-aspects of his stories. Just nit that well written. It was disappointing.
The presentation has a lot to be desired, too. Many times he goes from one sentence to another, like run-on sentences. Also from one topic to another with barely a break to indicate a change in topic.
Maybe for the Knowledgeable Aviator, but Otherwise, No.
