In a book about the space program to land on the Moon,
(I think it was) Chris Kraft wrote, it seems that 6 of the
7 astronauts did their work pretty well. But he essentially
rips Carpenter a new a-hole. Did Carpenter really do that
bad a job as astronaut? Or maybe Chris and Carpenter didn't
get along?...
