Book: Final Countdown: Nasa and the End of the Space Shuttle

I ran across a new book about the ending of the shuttle program. It is due to be published in about 2 months:<br /><br /><blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr /><p><b><font color="yellow">Final Countdown: Nasa and the End of the Space Shuttle Program</font>/b><br /><br /><i>The Space Shuttle was once the cornerstone of the U.S. space program. However, each new flight brings us one step closer to the retirement of the shuttle in 2010. Final Countdown is the riveting history of NASA's Space Shuttle program, its missions, and its impending demise. It also examines the plans and early development of the space agency's next major effort: the Orion Crew Exploration Capsule.</i><br />...<p><hr /></p></b></p></blockquote><br />Link to book at Amazon<br />
