Summary

Private space flight has long been a science-fiction dream. Today it is on the verge of realisation. Major entrepreneurs, such as the founders of Virgin, Microsoft, and Amazon, are investing in a new generation of lightweight, efficient spacecraft; start-up companies specialising in space tourism and spaceport development are burgeoning; and NASA and American aviation authorities are altering decades-old legislation to make private space adventure possible.

How To Build Your Own Spaceship tells you how to join the new space race, where the sky is no longer the limit.

Played over and over again

One of our boys is listening to this every night and is enjoying it very much. It is certainly very listen-able, well presented and very interesting content.

Fun. Not essential

I enjoyed it but it was not full of things I didn't know and was slightly dated.

Well written with Great Narration.

Hi,
This does exactly what it says on the tin. It outlines all the things you need to consider if designing a spaceship for low orbit flight. It's non-technical and accessible to anyone.
I particulary like the quirky style of writing and narration. This is definitely an audiobook I'll keep on my iPod to listen to time and time again.
