Recommended by Simon Winchester, Walter Isaacson, Homer Hickam and 9 others
Simon WinchesterThe elegant brilliance of the engineering that allows today’s space rockets to land themselves back on earth—or at sea—right way up, and on target to the inch, is all the doing of the teams assembled by Elon Musk—and the story of how he did it, and how for sure he will get us to Mars whether we like it or not, is told in appropriately stellar fashion by Eric Berger in a book that held me captive, in earth orbit, from prologue to epilogue, countdown to splashdown
Walter IsaacsonA colorful page-turner
Homer HickamLiftoff reads like something out of the golden age of Science Fiction but this isn’t a novel by Robert Heinlein or Arthur C. Clarke. This is the true, astounding story of the men and women who spun those sci-fi dreams into reality

Dan WoottonGreat book!
Sanjiv KapoorSpeaking on my inspirations this afternoon... not just Steve Jobs the person, but also the book on him by Walter Isaacson which is equally inspiring. It is an innovation Bible that brings the important of passion to life. Truly inspirational
