Title: Reprint overdue
Review: I read this book more than 25 years ago, and recall the description of the launch as utterly thrilling.One particularly powerful image has stayed with me all that time. Apparently, tapered stainless steel hold-down bolts steadied the rocket on the launch pad. At liftoff they released the whole heaving thundering vehicle, simply by the Saturn's enormous thrust extruding them through holes in anchor plates! It is Mailer's excitement, awe and his inquisitive eye for telling detail that I recall, not his ego.I would love to re-read it.
