'Masterly' New York Times 'Riveting' Scott Kelly 'Remarkable' The
Times When Richard Branson founded Virgin Galactic in 2004, his
goal was simple: to offer paying customers a trip to space by the
end of the decade. Seventeen years, countless delays, and one
catastrophic crash later, his space tourism dream may finally be on
the verge of reality. Now, a New Yorker journalist offers the
definitive portrait of the adventurers leading the way to the
stars. Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews with Virgin's
lead test pilot, Mark Stucky, Test Gods describes the making of a
modern astronaut: from starry-eyed youth to NASA, the Air Force,
and Virgin Galactic; and through dozens of gruelling test flights
to his first successful trip beyond the earth's atmosphere. The
result is the most vivid exploration of an astronaut's inner life
since Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff. It offers an intimate and unique
insight into the new space race.
