As soon as I saw the recommendation for this book on Twitter, I jumped at the opportunity to dive in. There are few things I’m more intrigued by than what Musk and his team of pirates have built at Space X, so to hear a genuine account of the early days seemed almost too good to be true.

It was that good, in fact it exceeded all expectations. The first hand retelling of what amounts to a linear progression of miracles is nothing short of amazing. From scientific breakthroughs, to twenty-somethings diving into the heart of a rocket that was literally imploding - the last possible rocket that Space X could launch before failing mind you - in order to save the day and the company was thrilling - I highly recommend this book!
