    If someone was, hypothetically, to spend too much time reading different books about program management during Apollo, I suspect they’d conclude that this one is the best:https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Apollo-Management-American-European/dp/0801885426 …

        So good of you to make that sacrifice for the rest of us, and figure out which is the best! (Ordered.)

        you know the the turn of phrase people use to describe the behavior of cats 'if it fits, I sits'? we need something like that for whenever patrick recommends a book.

        I was recommending it to everybody around that time, even Patrick (though not sure if any relation to him reading it):https://twitter.com/etscrivner/status/839670886995275776?s=21 …

        In a similar vein, this memoir by Kelly Johnson about Skunk Works is a fantastic book about the management and organization principles that had allowed Lockheed Martin to make the SR-71 and the U-2 etc. Considering how the F-35 is doing, Lockheed Martin should re-read this.pic.twitter.com/iw6r4wkfJn
