An Inside Account from
Curiosity's Chief Engineer
It is staggering to consider the amount of work and struggle that goes on to get a planetary mission approved, designed, funded, delayed, built, tested, re-tested, mated to a rocket, launched, testing while in flight, the Seven Minutes of Terror (see the video below), landing and testing on the ground before the rover moves at all.
This is the story of how the Mars Curiosity Rover came to be and how it made it to Mars.
If your one of those people who likes to learn how things are made, or you watch the DVD extras on the production of your favourite movie then this is a book you'll enjoy.
It was well written and engaging throughout.
