"Conceived by Stanford Professors Leonard Schiff, William Fairbank and Robert Cannon in 1959 and funded by NASA in 1964, GP-B is the longest running, continuous physics research program at both Stanford and NASA."
The experiment has finally come to an end, confirming Einstein's original predictions about the warping of space time around the Earth, specifically "frame-dragging".
Just recently finished the book "First Man", which is the only authorized biography of Neil Armstrong (first man on the moon, etc.). It's a good read, even if it is over 600 pages. It's very heavy on everything before the Apollo 11 mission, so don't expect to read a whole book about the details of the moon landing itself. I'd say it's a pretty comprehensive overview of the man's entire life from the looks of it.
