A good book on rocket stuff...that's a really fun one. --Elon Musk Read this book. You'll find plenty about John and all the other sky-high crackpots who were in the field with him and you may even get (as I did) a glimpse of the heroic excitement that seemed to make it reasonable to cuddle with death every waking moment--to say nothing of learning a heck of a lot about the way in which the business of science is really conducted. --Issac Asimov from the foreword This insider's account of the early years of rocketry captures the excitement of researching and developing technologies that lie outside the realm of computer science. While we're accustomed to think of technological progress in terms of Moore's law, in a few short years these engineers went from launching metal tubes small enough to hold in your hand to propelling a two ton metal capsule containing three humans all the way to the moon. --Inc. 9 Powerful Books Elon Musk Recommends
