"Read this book. Youll find plenty about John and all the other sky-high crackpots who were in the field with him and you may even get (as I did) a glimpse of the heroic excitement that seemed to make it reasonable to cuddle with death every waking momentto say nothing of learning a heck of a lot about the way in which the business of science is really conducted." Issac Asimov, from the foreword "Ignition!, originally written in 1972, is back in print after a long hiatus. A classic book, it tells a rollicking story of an era when space was the frontier. An informative history, it reads like an adventure story." Galveston County Daily News "This insider's account of the early years of rocketry captures the excitement of researching and developing technologies that lie outside the realm of computer science."
