Ignition! is the inside story of the Cold War era search for a rocket propellant which could be trusted to take man into space. A favorite of Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, listeners will want to tune into this "really good book on rocket[s]," available for the first time in audio.

Ignition! 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. 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, listeners will want to get their hands on this influential classic, available for the first time in decades.

It would have been vastly better if Scott Manley had read the book. Still its great fun to listen to.

Just an opinion

amazing humour, so I did listen all the way through - even though only understanding half of what was going on. to really enjoy this book, profound chemistry knowledge is needed

great humour, difficult chemistry

In my opinion, this book should be read, not listened to. As a trained chemist, I still had trouble following the different chemical structures and various preparations.

let's say the book sounds like it would be a great read.

Not as an audiobook
