Rocket Science. Two words which are synonymous with complexity. Two
words which for many people signify the zenith of human genius. A
phrase which has entered the English lexicon to describe the
toughest discipline in human endeavour. Author Alfred Zaehringer
has a unique perspective on both the phrase and the discipline. In
this book, his first about space in nearly forty years, Alfred
Zaehringer uses his lifetime of experience to take the mystery out
of the phrase he coined. Beginning with a short history of the
birth of rocketry he moves into an explanation of the physics that
makes it possible to use rockets to fly in space. Leaving no stone
unturned he moves on to the politics and economics of space-flight
before providing a detailed cross-section of mans different uses of
the reaction rocket to fly into the heavens. Finally he looks at
the proposals for future methods of space transportation and looks
at the many promising new technologies which may offer cheaper
access to space.
