Something Funny Happened on the Way to the Moon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The years of effort to place the United States flag on the moon was more than physics and math applied by the best minds of our time; it was the daily grind of thousands of engineers showing up to work every day. Yet for these engineers it was not a grind. They held pride for their mission, and they arrived each day with a purpose. Sara Howard captures the spirit of the time from her experiences as a female engineer in the sixties in a world dominated by men.
Often we are so enthralled by engineering ingenuity that we forget the most important part; the human element. In her book, Something Funny Happened on the Way to the Moon, Sara Howard reminds us of the importance of the human element with hilarious anecdotes which encapsulate the daily life of an engineer working for Boeing in Louisiana.
Open the pages and take a step back into time. Sara Howard shows that you did not have to wear flowered shirts and take drugs to have fun in the sixties. She chose to help land us on the moon, and she gives you a flavor of what it was like to work toward that common goal. Order her book to find out about life working for Boeing and NASA in the sixties.

This book is a light-hearted, funny story about what really happened during the Apollo Project. Never before has the history of the Apollo Program been told like this. But author Sara W. Howard, herself one of the first and only women to have ever worked on the Saturn V as an aerospace engineer, takes this famous story down from the heavens to the peons in the pits. In Something Funny Happened on the Way to the Moon, we finally hear about Apollo from the Earthly perspective. Howard tells us what it was like for the 400,000 people on the ground who together built the largest and most powerful rocket in history. Though the astronauts themselves were, of course, important to the mission, this story looks beyond the glitz and glamour of the stars and honors the men and women who made this vast program a reality. Sara Howard brings this story to the masses with a perspective and truth only she could bring.She brings us story to educate the world on the true story of Apollo, and of the incredible men and women who dedicated their lives to protecting others and who changed the course of history forever.
