It is an interesting story， right along the stories of "The Right Stuff" by Tom Wolfe and certainly extremely well written and told。 While it certainly makes todays Astronauts approachable， once cannot ignore the fact that this is almost a swan song of a rocket company。 Virgin Galactic was certainly ambitious， but their flight apparatus is mothballed and may not fly again。 It seems to be the first loser in the race of private business to space。 Nicholas Schmidle had the pleasure to be along for It is an interesting story， right along the stories of "The Right Stuff" by Tom Wolfe and certainly extremely well written and told。 While it certainly makes todays Astronauts approachable， once cannot ignore the fact that this is almost a swan song of a rocket company。 Virgin Galactic was certainly ambitious， but their flight apparatus is mothballed and may not fly again。 It seems to be the first loser in the race of private business to space。 Nicholas Schmidle had the pleasure to be along for some of that ride and just had to write it down， after spending so much time and effort in following the story。 He could not have known the ending， and his account about a 3rd place finisher in the space race is enjoyable to read for the people deeply interested in the race。 。。。more
