“Two of the world’s foremost space history chroniclers have joined forces to tell the tale of how space flight developed and nurtured our existence over the last century or more. They fly us through the decades with their characteristic wry humor, making Star Bound both an entertaining and an informative read.”—Francis French, coauthor of Into That Silent Sea: Trailblazers of the Space Era, 1961–1965 “A sweeping, comprehensive, and detailed spaceflight history and primer, Star Bound is not just informative, it’s engaging and fun—less an academic text than a lively conversation with that one cool friend who’s funny, snarky, and oh-so-smart.”—David Hitt, author of Homesteading Space: The Skylab Story
