Any space recommendations? Fiction or non-fiction?

The Martian very much reminded me of Gene Krantz's 'Failure Is Not An Option', but y'know, sarcastic. Failure's Not An Option, Dumbass.

Failure is not an Option Mission Control From Mercury to Apollo 13 and Beyond by Gene Kranz

In searching for science-themed graphic novels this weekend, I stumbled across T-Minus: The Race to the Moon and placed a hold for it at my library. Looks interesting!

If religious undertones don't bother you, C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy Out of the Silent Planet / Perelandra / That Hideous Strength Out of the Silent Planet / Perelandra / That Hideous Strength is underrated, mostly because it plays second fiddle to the Narnia books, but it is quite good!
