FROM APOLLO TO
ARTEMIS
About Herb Baker
Welcome!
I recently completed the manuscript for my memoir, called From Apollo To Artemis: Stories From My 50 Years With NASA. I’ve also finalized the cover and back page artwork.
This website includes information and photos related to the book and the option to purchase it here – once it is published.
The site also covers my other current endeavors – writing (published on Medium.com), volunteering for nonprofits promoting STEM education, acting (community theatre), and speaking engagements.
Stories
The Book
This book is full of ‘Behind The Scenes’ stories and historical information about the U.S. space program, from my days as a 17-year-old working for the news media covering the Apollo 11 mission at the Manned Spacecraft Center, through my 40+ year career working for NASA, to my current position on the Board of Directors of the NASA Alumni League-Johnson Space Center.
