âAn exciting insiderâs look at Projects Mercury, Gemini and Apollo . . . NASAâs internal politics, disasters, glitches and close callsâ by a pioneering astronaut (Publishers Weekly). Gordon âGordoâ Cooper was one of the original Mercury Seven astronauts, pilot for Apollo X, head of flight crew operations for the United Statesâ first orbiting space station, and the last American to venture into space alone. Stretching from the dawning days of NASA to the far reaches of the unknown, Cooperâs distinguished career as a record-setting astronaut helped shape Americaâs space program and blazed a trail for generations to come. In this astonishing memoirâwritten with #1 New York Times bestseller Bruce HendersonâCooper crosses paths with such aviation luminaries as Amelia Earhart, Wiley Post, and German rocket scientist Wernher von Braun; he shares his early days at Edwards Air Force Base and the endeavors that became the basis for The Right Stuff; he takes us inside NASA with candid accounts of his defeats and accomplishments; he reflects on the triumphs and tragedies of his heroic colleagues; and he finally reveals the reasons behind his belief in extraterrestrial intelligence, including the US militaryâs long-standing UFO cover-ups. Buckle yourself in for a breathtaking ride because in Leap of Faith, Gordon Cooper takes readers to places theyâve never been before.
