BEAR GRYLLS
Riveting . . . This is the book about the new space race you've been waiting to read. An instant classic.
SCOTT KELLY, astronaut and author of Endurance
An absolute thrill . . . A hugely ambitious feat of reporting and storytelling, and a fitting twenty-first century sequel to The Right Stuff.
PATRICK RADDEN KEEFE, author of Say Nothing and Empire of Pain
Unique, fascinating, compulsively readable, brilliantly reported with unprecedented access, a kick-ass adventure story . . . Just strap yourself in and get ready for one helluva ride.
BUZZ BISSINGER, author of Friday Night Lights
So exciting. A new generation with The Right Stuff.
DAN SNOW
The book promises to profile the test pilots risking everything for grand dreams of space. What it actually does is much more interesting . . . Schmidle's care over terrestrial scenes sets this book apart from more familiar representations of airborne masculinity.
Washington Post
A Right Stuff for our moment of space travel . . . Riveting . . . A deeply reported and deeply personal book. It is a masterly work.
New York Times Book Review
A remarkable new book about the modern space race.
The Times
Does an admirable job of taking readers behind the scenes at Virgin Galactic . . . We get a sense of the precariousness of Virgin Galactic's spaceflight technology.
