Wow, what a book! This IS going to be a go-to-reference for the first private manned spaceship, SpaceShipOne. Instead of the title being “How To Make….†it could have been titled “How a Miracle Happened…†It is packed with so much detail and background story on how the private sector was able to step onto hallowed ground in 2004 that was previously owned by large tax payer funded government programs.For those that don’t know, SpaceShipOne is a spacecraft that completed the first manned private spaceflight in 2004. That same year, it won the US$10 million Ansari X Prize. SpaceShipOne now hangs in the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C.SpaceShipOne was designed by Burt Rutan. And it was Burt Rutan’s confident leadership, engineering prowess, creative genius, and simple wackiness that propelled Burt’s small renegade team to achieve one of the biggest world news stories of that year.I know…. I was part of that team.I joined Burt Rutan’s Scaled Composites in 1988. I was hired in to be Scaled’s first structural analyst using FEM (Finite Element Methods) which is an advanced way of computer simulating aerospace structures to determine stress and stiffness. By the time the SpaceShipOne program started, I was selected to be the structural lead.As deftly described in the book and the documentary “Black Skyâ€, tension was at a level I had never experienced before on any Scaled Composites program. There was a general consensus that Burt had lost his marbles when he suggested to his small team of maybe 12 engineers that we could go from building subsonic propeller and jet aircraft to building a spacecraft that would go 3+ times the speed of sound and, oh yeah, go to suborbital space. But first, we would have to build the mothership, White Knight (WK), which will carry and launch SpaceShipOne at about 45,000 ft.Another benefit to a small team is that we were highly motivated to perform to the best of our abilities. This struck home one day when I saw the wife to one of SpaceShipOne’s test pilots. I clearly understood that I did not want to face a day where I might have to tell her that her husband died because of a mistake I made. The SpaceShipOne team was close knit.Engineers are naturally skeptical since they clearly understand the risks. But Burt eventually won his team over by methodically describing how we would mitigate those risks by first building WK using the identical cabin design and most of the systems that SpaceShipOne would use. It was a BRILLIANT way to build confidence by continually testing identical hardware on the mothership, WK.Flight test were equally well thought out by Burt. First flight tests were simply “captive carry†by carrying SpaceShipOne to altitude only. This was followed by drop tests allowing SpaceShipOne to simply glide back to landing and to test the unique feather deployment design. Eventually, flight tests were concluded with rocket powered flights that won the US$10 million Ansari X Prize.The level of painstaking detailed research that Julian Guthrie put into writing this book is obvious to me as an “insiderâ€. I cannot find any errors or anything I would have changed. And it filled in a lot of the missing background story that I did not know that ultimately led to our successful climax. Wonderful job Julian!!!
Think back to Alan Shepard, the first American in space, and imagine if someone had told you that a handful of civilians, without a dime of government funding, would loft two humans into space a scant 43 years later. Yet, spurred by a contest with a generous financial reward, a group headed by legendary aircraft designer Burt Rutan did just that. Especially notable is that the prize money didn't come close to covering their costs, and that's why their story is such a compelling one. The prize was the spark, but internal forces far more profound were driving these people, and it's the human story we get in this book. Read it, then go back and watch the footage of the two winning flights and the events leading up to them. You'll then have a deep and satisfying appreciation for this extraordinary achievement.
A great read, The story weaves together half a dozen character-driven threads. It's all about a cast of large characters: Peter Diamandis (the promoter), Burt Rutan (aeronautics prodigy), John Carmack (software genius), Erik Lindbergh (son of the great aviator), Michael Melvill and Brian Binnie (test pilots). The story brings to life the competition that led to the first reusable commercial suborbital spaceflights, My personal favorite is Burt Rutan. His creations have been amazingly innovative. One of my favorite scenes has MIke Melvill riding on top of the Rutan Raptor UAV prototype, flying it back to base like a some old-time cowboy. The book is packed with great stuff. The winning flights, of course, are the high points of the story. You've got to love the professionalism, determination, calm and expert piloting under pressure of both Melvill and Binnie. The Right Stuff indeed.
The book starts out quite strong. Peter Diamandis, the founder of the X-Prize, is an a dynamo of activity. He is simultaneously attending Harvard Medical School and graduate school at MIT, launching a university, organizing collegiate clubs that turn into national organizations. He's the driving force behind the first part of the book, the writing is strong, and it makes for very interesting reading.Unfortunately, Part II of the book, which is about the trials and tribulations behind the founding of the X-Prize is brutal. All the momentum the author built in the first part of the book comes to a grinding halt. We follow Peter around to meeting after meeting and learn about the death of his friend. Quite frankly, I skipped the last few chapters of this part and I don't feel like I missed anything. This third of the book could and should have been summarized in one chapter.Part III, how Burt Rutan wins the X-Prize, gets interesting again. But by this point the whole thing is a bit disjointed.It's really three books in one and the author would have done better to focus on the building of a spaceship -- as suggested by the title -- and less on the building of a foundation. Peter Diamandis is an interesting character to be sure. And I can understand why the author wrote so much about him. He kept detailed notes on his life and tape recorded his thoughts. It's a goldmine for an author, but in the end, it doesn't serve the book. Peter doesn't make spaceships; Burt Rutan does.The book I was hoping for would have led me through all the trials and tribulations in building a spaceship in much greater detail and the engineering challenges that were faced and overcome. The book touches on this then spends more time recounting the two winning X-Prize flights. Clearly, this is a talented author who needs some guidance in organizing her material.
