Author Burton says, "How do you measure success? Money? Power? Satisfaction with a job well done? Dreams fulfilled?"
It wasn't 'til my later years that I really realized how lucky I was to have spent my lifetime being involved from the beginning in one of the greatest feats of all time. Somehow I had to get it all down on paper - the comradery, the pressure, and challenges of a lifetime. All of it was there, rolling around in my head!
I invite you to share in some of these memoirs from a 40 year career in Aerospace Engineering. I have described my assignments on various programs from the Matador guided missile to large rockets for space vehicle boosters including the Space Shuttle and large satelllite boosters. Many anecdotes are included to provide some intimate details of the thinking and philosophy. About 100 of my associates are described as they became a part of my life, including their personalities, eccentricities and attributes. It is notable that the book is about, and a tribute to, the working men and women who propelled us From Behind Sandbags to the moon and back, and on to a continuous presence in space.
The book is a unique non-technical writing about a technical subject by reflecting on the human aspects of the times.".
