It is required reading for anyone who wants to know how a group of visionaries overcame great obstacles to pioneer the final frontier for profit." - Douglas Messier, editor in chief of Parabolicarc.com "Many books have been written about the history of spaceflight, documenting the efforts to enter space 'for all mankind.'
