I like "Stages to Saturn" (which I already owned). It has good information on the engineering details which I like (cuz I'm an engineer), but has too much on organization and administration which doesn't interest me.

> the Picard series (streaming free on CBS right now)
I went to look at this, and it appears to be part of a $10 / month subscription, not free. Is there a giveaway somewhere?

Using promo code GIFT gets you 1 month free but you have to sign up for CBS all access to get it. Best before 4/23 is what I think the ad said.

The ad I saw was for a one month free trial. Maybe that's the source of confusion.
For those who enjoy any one of these title, please post your thoughts and experience.
I just commented on another HN post, "Ask HN: Great fiction books that have had a positive impact on your life?" [1], with a recommended fiction book (series) that was even more enjoyable because of the three non-fiction books I was reading at the same time [2].
Right now I'm reading The Expanse series by (pen name) James S. A. Corey and watching the Picard series (streaming free on CBS right now). Any books from the NASA collection which crossed over themes from this fiction series would be AMAZING!
