Summary: Great Analysis of NASA's successes and failures in the 90s
Comment: This book examines in great detail why FBC was needed and what its impact was. McCurdy looks not only at the successes like Mars Pathfinder but also examines FBC's failures. His analysis helps highlight the pros and cons of FBC, an understanding that will help the reader understand NASA's space exploration program.
One of the most interesting parts in this book is the comparison of Pathfinder and Viking and the breakdown in costs associated with the two. It also explores the kinds of decisions that went into MPF to dispel the myth that Viking created in that space exploration required multi-billion dollar missions.
