Description
Profiles the career of Gary Hudson and his creation of Rotary Rocket, a company formed to design and construct the Rotan, a revolutionary, single-stage-to-orbit, fully reusable rocket designed to send humans into space.
First Sentence
People have always dreamed of leaving the planet-on the backs of eagles, tied to flocks of trained geese, by magnetic attraction, in a chariot drawn by four red horses in search of Orlando's lost mind, and with the morning dew-and when, in 1969, American astronauts finally reached the moon in a Saturn V rocket, the nature of that dreaming changed for good.
