For those who haven't read it, one of my all time favourite reads is the only authorised biography of Neil Armstrong's life by James R Hansen, First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong - an amazing book. Along with Chaikin's A Man on The Moon... I simply could not put these books down. Do your self a favour.....
Thanks again Mike - here's to the next 40 year!

Steve, I wholeheartedly agree. I have First Man in audio book as well as hardback.
As I've mentioned in another thread, the other books I strongly recommend are:
Carrying the Fire - Michael Collins, Apollo 11 Command Pilot
Lift Off - Michael Collins, Apollo 11 Command Pilot
Failure is Not an Option - Gene Krantz, Apollo Flight Director
Last Man on the Moon - Gene Cernan, Apollo 17 Astronaut
Moonwalker - Charlie Duke, Apollo 16 LM Pilot
And Buzz Aldrin's autobiography to be released next month.
Most of these you can get online.
