The Rocket Company

This richly illustrated book is a fictionalized account of the challenges faced by a group of seven investors and their engineering team in developing a low-cost, reusable, Earth-to-orbit launch vehicle.

The business model presented includes numerous timely scenarios and ideas.

The increased dedication by both private individuals and government institutions to solving the problem of low-cost, reusable launch vehicles makes this book necessary reading for all those involved in developing solutions.
