Review: The start of SpaceX - The company which chsnged rockets. This is all about the early days of how the conpany started and finally succeeded in successfully launching Falcon 1. The same author has written Reentry which covers the Falcon 9 story. You learn about the people,the hard work, the highs and lows which have changed things for the world Not the faster, better, cheaper failures of ZZZNASA in the 1990s, but the better way, cheaper and faster of Musk and SpaceX. Well worth reading and learning about a Yes, it can be done approach to things.
Review: Excellent & Enjoyable! - I got this book as I recently became an avid follower of the modern day space race. But what I didn't know much about was how & why Elon Musk got started with Space X. Eric Berger takes the reader from the beginning right up to the successful first flights of the falcon 1 & how that led on to the falcon 9. You don't need an engineering degree to follow this book. It focuses primarily on the human stories, the struggles and the hardship and the joyous moments too. The author was given full access to the staff, and weaves a great narrative from their accounts that's both an enjoyable read and very insightful. He doesn't shy away from hard truths, Elon Musk does not always come up smelling of roses & it's all the better for that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shaky start gives way to epic thrill ride
*by A***R on 9 April 2021*

The first chapter or two were a little slow and seemed thin on detail, hence the four rather than five stars. After that though, the book quickly turns into a nail biting roller-coaster ride that only increases in intensity as the story progresses. It's also a fascinating isight into what appears to be a pivotal moment for the aerospace industry. Well worth anyone's time.
