Surprisingly fantastic

Revisado: 11-11-22

Had no great expectations going in, but I enjoyed this book more than most. The story itself is fun but the portrayal by Pinchot was especially good.

Loved it

Revisado: 04-13-21

The people interviewed and quality of the story telling is simply fantastic. I finished this book all too quickly as I was drawn into the wild do-or-die escapades of the early SpaceX years.

Good story with caveats

Revisado: 05-07-19

Truly a great idea, and hilarious comparisons to some real world people, companies, and situations. All in all I recommend the book.

The end, really a decision made about how the story would proceed much earlier in the book ultimately leads to a disappointing ending. Too many loose ends untied, questions like “why didn’t they just do this”, and in general a feeling like the last 1/4 of the book was rushing to finish rather than fill in more depth.

Also, the story builds on some characters which suddenly the book just drops from the narrative until the very end or not at all... with no explanation about what was going on with them, though theoretically critical to the story.

Still, I give it 4/5 stars and enjoyed it despite some issues.

A couple with potential

Revisado: 11-19-15

Great authors, throw away stories. A couple are decent, but most either tease you with a cool idea but fail on execution, or are just outright uninteresting or too awkward.
