This book frustrates me, and I finally figured out why. Aside from the author's colloquial voice, and convoluted sentence structure, it's the fact that I'm 1/3 of the way throw, and she's hardly mentioned Mars at all. The title would imply deep-space missions, but thus far, it has been entirely about LEO. Where's my hard science? Where's my exploration of the unknown?

It's as if she decided to write this book because she might meet some hot astronauts, but found out that today's space flights are mostly about science and not dick wagging test pilots , so she got lost in the 60's version of NASA instead. Which is all fine, but don't name it packing for Mars. Name it Packing for Apollo

Half way through and you're still going on about early scientists being fearful of weightlessness? This is the worst named book ever...

Thus far, everything covered could be learned from a 30 minute documentary on the making of Apollo 13. I feel cheated...
