Default Runway to Orbit: Reflections of A NASA Engineer

I've read it. It's OK, I suppose, but it all seems so ordinary.


Mary of course is one of the few folks here that can say that line with a
straight face.


It's
certainly not "Hypersonic" by Jenkins and Landis. It's just about
engineering.

It's got some nice photos. Although some of them haven't been
published much, a lot of them could have come right from my photo
collection. Ordinary, like I said.

The jacket painting is OK, probably the best thing about it. One of
the Dryden test pilots did it.

Someone told me that Amazon might carry it, even though it's GPO. I
don't know how that works.
