I am just starting "Challenger" by Adam Higginbotham, the story of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. The event and loss of astronauts hit our space-related community quite hard.

@exexec LMK what you think. Looks interesting.

@Harmonium1923 It is interesting so far. It begins with the Apollo 1 accident that killed three astronauts, focusing on the mistakes that were made. Then it goes into the development of the Space Shuttle system. I worked in the space program and knew many of the characters in the Challenger story.

@SomeMichGuy Houston has a lot to offer, including more "culture" than most people expect.
