I can't recommend this book enough. I've had a few conversations with Scott
since we have similar skills and interests, and I'm amazed by his
professionalism and commitment. Buy this book. It's worth it.

I just got my copy today...it's great! I know what I'll be reading for
the next 12 hours.

However...there are a few typos in the Foreward by Tom Hanks:

"...temperatures colder than any found on Earth an [sic] hotter than
fire itself.

"The craft which took men to the Moon also brought them back -
safety [sic] - every time."

"...and still return to us - charred, no loner [sic] useful..."


Looks like Tom should add a proofreader to his celebrity entourage :)
