This book isnt a novel its a fictional record of what a journalist observed in the process of the development of a new rocket company and vehicle

A little unbalanced in timeframes with the majority of the writing focused on the early developmental side of things it was still a great read and very believable which was probably the authors intent

What little dialogue there is reads like highly polished scripts rather than real conversations

The expendable launch vehicles that continue to dominate the field today clearly are not the answerthey are the equivalent of an airline flying a brandnew 747 on one transcontinental trip and then cutting up the airplane for scrap when it gets to its destination
