Starman: The Truth Behind the Legend of Yuri Gagarin | 
pickQuite an interesting bio of the first man in space (though it also mentions the continuing conspiracy theory that Gagarin was beaten by another Russian who had gone up a short time earlier). I thought Gagarin‘s relationships with Korolev and Khrushchev were very interesting — especially considering the other conspiracy theory that the crash that killed Gagarin was no accident.
Next, back to the Americans — Gene Kranz‘s memoir. #spaceracereading
