He flew in the Mercury and Gemini programs and served as head of flight crew operations in both the Apollo and Skylab programs. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on extensive research and first-person interviews, this is a complete history of the Faith 7 flight and its astronaut. Cooper later gained notoriety following the release of the movie, \u003ci\u003eThe Right Stuff\u003c\/i\u003e, in which he was depicted by Dennis Quaid, but Burgess discovers there was even more drama to his story. It completes the \"Pioneers in Early Spaceflight\" subseries in fitting fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Praxis\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-07-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319305622\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-30563-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x168cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 291\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46915528130700,"sku":"9783319305622","price":40.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319305622.jpg?v=1774493365","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319305622","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
