Description: "In his career as an astronaut, Thomas Stafford saw it all: Gene Cernan's fogged up pressure helmet, the mountains of the moon oh-so-close, a Soviet handshake in orbit. Stafford was truly one of those few who stood on the shoulders of giants and made history."Tom Hanks "As American flight commander of the first ever rendezvous-in-space with the Soviets, Tom Stafford started raising the Iron Curtain. A great talent, a great careerand still involved!"Senator John Glenn "An intimate portrayal of space policy, especially its sometimes cantankerous, sometimes tranquil, but always interesting interactions between USA and USSR."Roger D. Launius, NASA Chief Historian
