How to Build Your Own Space Ship

The Science of Personal Space Travel

By: Piers Bizony

Narrated by: Rupert Holliday Evans

Private space flight has long been a science-fiction dream. Today it is on the verge of realisation. Major entrepreneurs, such as the founders of Virgin, Microsoft, and Amazon, are investing in a new generation of lightweight, efficient spacecraft; start-up companies specialising in space tourism and spaceport development are burgeoning; and NASA and American aviation authorities are altering decades-old legislation to make private space adventure possible.

How To Build Your Own Spaceship tells you how to join the new space race, where the sky is no longer the limit.

Great overview!

A wealth of info, great writing, logical sequence, top notch narrating!
I really enjoyed the book, and highly recommend it especially if you have more than an average interest in the subject

Fun to listen to, learned something too

This audiobook is actually about how to get a carreer in space. I'm not planning to, but it's fun to listen to this book anyway. It tells you about the challenges of spaceflight and how rockets work. Maybe the book is slightly out of date, as it assumes the Constellation program is still going to the moon. And NASA actually has a budget. But that doesn't hurt the story that much.
I hope the narrator does more audiobooks, because I've enjoyed his narration.
