The book is a collection of stories recalling the people that the author met and worked with at NASA - including many astronauts, some of whom walked on the Moon - and the many exciting and challenging jobs he had at NASA beginning with the Apollo lunar landing missions through his current position on the Board of Directors for the NASA Alumni League-JSC. The book includes historical context and includes stories about both the people and the events, with bits of humor along the way. The more than 100 photographs (most of which are personal photos) add great visual context to the many stories.

Industry Reviews

From Independent Book Review:

"From Apollo To Artemis makes clear that its author truly and enthusiastically loves NASA and is eager to spread his passion."

"An amusing and informative memoir about NASA from the inside."

From Thomas Anderson, Editor-in-Chief at Literary Titan

"Baker's storytelling is charming and very detailed."

"His enthusiasm and awe come through vividly, like when he recalls watching the Moon landing in a cramped TV studio and being swept up in the excitement of the era. These moments made me feel like I was right there with him."

"From Apollo to Artemis is a heartfelt journey through NASA's history. It is perfect for readers who enjoy personal, behind-the-scenes stories and who want a sense of what it was like to be a part of NASA's extended family."

"Herb Baker's warmth and humility make this an enjoyable read, even if you're not a hardcore space fan."

From Author Gene Finz

"... a heartfelt tribute to exploration, innovation, and the people who dared to dream beyond our world. And the pictures are AMAZING!"

From Author Sivan Kish

"Herb Baker doesn't just recount NASA's history-he invites you into it. From Apollo to Artemis feels like sitting with an old friend who lived through the most thrilling moments of space exploration. The stories are intimate, insightful, and often surprising, showing the human side behind the epic missions."
