Built of titanium and a chrome-nickel alloy known as Inconel X, the X-15 was the fastest plane ever built, streaking through the lower reaches of outer space even before the first space capsules reached orbit. First tested in 1959, the X-15 proved to be a crucial testing ground for the astronauts and hardware in the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and even the Space Shuttle programs. Celebrated reporter Richard Tregaskis spent time with the pilots, engineers, and other key personnel involved in the project.

X-15 through one’s eyes
Revisado: 04-09-25
This was nice: it’s a journal of one’s experiences telling the beginning of the x15 story versus a academic historical account

NASA’s history is a familiar story, one that typically peaks with Neil Armstrong taking his small step on the Moon in 1969. But America’s space agency wasn’t created in a vacuum. It was assembled from pre-existing parts, drawing together some of the best minds the non-Soviet world had to offer. Breaking the Chains of Gravity tells the story of America’s nascent space program, its scientific advances, its personalities and the rivalries it caused between the various arms of the US military.

Dan's way of keeping this scary part of history entertaining
Revisado: 07-05-24
I liked how all the information Dan told me about was correct. I also liked how he kept it entertaining despite him talking about humanity having the power of nuclear energy. I was bother when he whould occasionally start "nerd" ranting although that was a small bother not a disliked. P.S The ranting was so short there reaily wasn't any problem with him ranting.

A former U.S. senator and defense contractor needs someone to look over the books of Dalfan Technologies, a Singapore company - quickly. He turns to Jack Ryan, Jr., and Paul Brown, two employees of one of the best financial analysis firms in the country, which also happens to be the cover for The Campus, a top secret American intelligence agency.

Better than reviewed

I wanted to pump the average rating on this book because I thought it was too low. Paul Brown is a fantastic character! Great writing and Scott Brick sells the Ryanverse every time!

Historical Trash!
Revisado: 06-29-17
This book portrays general Ned Allmond is a man lacking character with a cowardly tendency. This is not only an assault on historical record but an assault on a recently veteran whom led one of the first African American units in the Mountains of Italy before commanding X Corp in Korea. Most historians view this man as an outsider in MacArthur's inner circle of YES men whom made the best of his situation when MacArthur's inner circle refused to believe intel that the Chinese would enter the war if X Corp moved north of Pyongyang following the invasion of Wanson.
I don't think it was fair, even in the spirit of fiction, to lie about a proven real non-coincidental US battlefield commander's reputation to serve a villain role in this TOTAL FICTION pretending to be Historical Fact.
