A classic work in the history of science, and described
as “a good book on rocket stuff…that’s a really fun
one” by SpaceX founder Elon Musk, readers will want to get their
hands on this influential classic, available for the first time in
decades. Â This newly reissued debut book in the Rutgers
University Press Classics imprint is the story of the search for a
rocket propellant which could be trusted to take man into space.
This search was a hazardous enterprise carried out by rival labs
who worked against the known laws of nature, with no guarantee of
success or safety. Acclaimed scientist and sci-fi author John Drury
Clark writes with irreverent and eyewitness immediacy about the
development of the explosive fuels strong enough to negate the
relentless restraints of gravity. The resulting volume is as much a
memoir as a work of history, sharing a behind-the-scenes view of an
enterprise which eventually took men to the moon, missiles to the
planets, and satellites to outer space. Â
