Review:

This is exactly how science needs to be communicated to the public. Lots of science for sure, but written so clearly that anyone can understand it easily.

I learned so much. And I’m astonished this mission ever got off the drawing board. The number one concern, like all projects is: money, budgets, funding, costs. All the glory and science and joy of exploration is secondary compared to the almighty dollar.

I loved this and came to love the spacecraft.

This book made me want to: continue laughing at UFO conspiracy losers
