Can you tell us anything about the upcoming book collection of his work that you're introducing? Amazon.com doesn't list it yet. Thanks! Andy,

Thank you! For the information, inspiration and "just plain fun" that accompanies your passion. And thank you for providing a place to send those folks who ask "why spend so much money on a space program?" I will never forget viewing Saturn - I still can't believe it was the real thing! Bravo. Andy…

What an inspirational site. You have always been one of my heroes and such a positive life force. You are one of only two true renaissance men I know. You are at once a scholar, poet, musician, inspirational voice, space nut, decent human being and darn nice guy. I wish you the best with this blog it is always uplifting to read your words. In a time when science seems to have become so niched and germ-X'd it is wonderful to see true passion at work. Your sincere love for Space causes not only a ripple effect---but a tsunami effect. I look forward to your future cyber-inspirations. Aloha, Donna …and Andy mahalo for doing this. What an inspirational site. You have always been one of my heroes and such a positive life force.

Although I have many books about the space program-and Apollo-more than a thousand at last count-your new work is the only one that made me feel as if I was along for the ride during every one of these Apollo missions. I can only imagine the preparation you had to go through to ask the questions that generated this remarkable record of humanity's first voyages to another world. Well done! Dear Andy-

Looking forward to your new book coming next week. Keep the voice of space exploration alive in our time-America needs, now more than ever, hope and inspiration that we as a people and a species can immerse ourselves in a cause greater than our own self-interest.
