Prompted me to post the following.
I've recently finished reading 'Into the Black', by Rowland White (the Author of the excellent 'Vulcan 607').
This is the story of the development and first launch of the space shuttle, along with all of the behind the scene politics, crew selection and technical challenges. The level of research, detail and explanation (as with Mr Whites other publications), is amongst the best I've ever read.
It also details what was happening in the (then) black projects of early satellite reconnaissance (hence the reference to Peter’s post regarding the X37B), including digital photography and downloads.
I highly recommend this book. Just be prepared to burn the midnight oil.
