"While some five hundred people have been to space, only three have actually flown themselves there.SpaceShipOne: An Illustrated Historyputs you behind the wheel of the 'Mach 3 Ferrari' known asSpaceShipOneand describes the challenges of hand-flying the rocket to the edge of space and back again-a journey that pushed our small team to its limits to solve the demands of performance and precision for crossing the tightrope of spaceflight." -Brian Binnie,SpaceShipOnetest pilot and astronaut "It was an incredible privilege for me to lead the Ansari X Prize judging team and witness the phenomenal vision, design genius, technical skill, and focused teamwork required to actually sendSpaceShipOneon its winning flights. Dan Linehan's in-depth, up-close-and-personal accounts inSpaceShipOne: An Illustrated Historygive readers a ringside seat to history. Enjoy, learn, but most of all marvel at this world-changing step in the expansion of human beings off our home planet!" -Rick Searfoss, Colonel, USAF (Ret.), former astronaut/Space Shuttle Commander, Ansari X Prize Chief Judge Packed with more than 230 photos, exclusive diagrams, flight logs, and interviews with the individuals who made air-and-space history happen,SpaceShipOne: An Illustrated Historyprovides the full scope of drama behind the achievement of a true aviation milestone, on par with the Wright Flyer, theSpirit of St Louis, and Apollo 11.SpaceShipOneis the first of a new breed of spaceship, ushering in a "sub-orbital personal spaceflight industry" that will soon take twenty-first century tourists to the final frontier.Linehan, Dan is the author of 'SpaceShipOne', published 2008 under ISBN 9780760331880 and ISBN 076033188X.
