Two suggestions for early history of growing up around the space program:
"Growing up with Rockets" a film by Nancy Yasecco.
"Cocoa Beach Songs" a cd of songs by Robert Edgar.
Nancy and I grew up in Cocoa Beach between the late 1950's and 1970s (actually, she still lives in that area). Her film is a great documentary about that time. The songs (downloadable through iTunes) are portraits of that place and that time.
