This book chronicles the development of the world’s first commercial manned space program--aprogram that includes an airborne launcher (the White Knight), a space ship (SpaceShipOne), rocket propulsion, avionics, simulator, and full ground support. In April of 2003, a company called Scaled Composites lifted the veil of secrecy from a longtime research program and introduced SpaceShipOne to the world. With ample illustrations, photographs, and behind-the-scenes information, SpaceShipOne provides a full picture of this classified project--from the conception and design to the deals that brought together Scaled Composites’ Burt Rutan and Virgin Airlines’ Sir Richard Branson to the plans for building a fleet of commercial suborbital spaceships and launch aircraft. The story of SpaceShipOne combines the adventurous spirit of Charles Lindbergh, the entrepreneurial drive of Howard Hughes, and the urgency of the space race at the height of the Cold War. Author Dan Linehan, who was there at the launch, lets readers in on the drama and details behind the making of spaceships that will take twenty-first-century tourists to the final frontier. Features a never-before-seen cockpit diagram, created especially for this book, identifying all seventy of SpaceShipOne’s instruments and controls.. And the age of commercial space travel took off like a rocket
National Science Teachers AssociationI can highly recommend Sean Hargreaves book for anyone who is interested inthe arts of film design.. It became a tradition that his would always be the first question at the first race press conference each year. From his upbringing in the Texas Panhandle to his high flying with Donald Trump and the New York set to his ability to amass a fortune and his first of a kind deals for professional athletes, this is one great read.. Frère could drive just about anything, witness his first overall at the Spa 24-hour race in 1952 in an Oldsmobile Rocket 88 and his class win at the 1953 Mille Miglia in Italy driving a 1953 Chrysler Saratoga Coupe. Davis, Jr. Really first rate. If you want to know the origins of the current Lotus F1 team, or its predecessor, Renault F1, or before that, Benetton F1, this is the book for you. I bought this book as a gift for a Rabbi. The must have for Automation and Controls Engineers!!. There were times I couldn't put it down. If this is your first exposure to networks, however, it may be just what you need.. They said the book is too basic etc .After I got this book, I think it's good. I don't care if you are designer or just purely enjoy and appreciate creativity and want to have your mind blown by a great artist, this book is for you.. Two years later he switched to automobiles and he entered the 24-Hour Race at Spa Francorchamps in Belgium in a 1938 ex-Le Mans MG PB Special. I heard
