It was strongly recommended for the humour and witty banter. It's the story of the x prize, the amazing idealist behind it, and the incredible organizations he created. It was like a thriller bio book, exciting, and you never knew what would happen next.
I'm only halfway through this book right now but it's excellent. And if you liked our SpaceX episode, I think you will love this book. It is called 'How to Make a Spaceship'.
It's just a really good, if you kind of like 'Shoe Dog', it's almost these like thriller bio book. It's just like it's exciting, and you never quite know what's going to happen next. And it's well-written, and well-story told, so I highly recommend it.
