Holiday shopping for a space fan? "Eight Years to the Moon" has stories you won't find anywhere else from those who worked behind the scenes to send humans to the Moon. Want an autographed copy? Let me know. Also at the big sellers, or ask your fav bookstore to order it for you!

This is the best my phone could do, but seeing it live was indescribable! We're in a neighborhood and not a lot of people are really close to us but you could hear everyone gasp and cheer in the whole town when the Moon clicked into place! Stunning! #Eclipse2024
