Agreed, with the exception of “Of a Fire on the Moon” that combines his engineering background with a New York sneer to give a jolly good insight into the men (WASPs all) who conceived and then carried out this amazing feat. His description of what the “light on” really meant — that Armstrong had just seconds of fuel left in which to land or crash — and not as Cronkite droned that the “lights were landing lights” makes it worth the read, even today.
