How to Make a Spaceship: Band of Renegades

Even while NASA was winding down manned space flight, entrepreneurs and adventurers were dreaming of new ways to get into space. This book tells the story of how Peter Diamandis created a competition to start a new space race to get private companies to reach for the stars and led to the first commercial space flights. The story of how happened is driven by outsized characters and obsessive pursuits, but eventually led to the foundation for a new commercial space industry and the dawning of a new space age.(This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
