      abstract = {This is a book about rocket science: what it is and what  it does. From the earliest fireworks to nuclear-powered  spacecraft, all you would ever want or need to know about  the subject is here, along with a straightforward  explanation of how, why and when things work--or sometimes  don't. We begin with the history and workings of early  terrestrial rocketry before moving onto the main subject of  the book: how we get things into space and, on occasion,  back again. Entirely math-free, the chapters weave together  innumerable anecdotes, real-world examples, and easy  walk-throughs to help readers break down the complex  physics behind some of humankind's most amazing feats.  Neither a pure textbook nor a populist space travel tome,  the book will educate, inform and above all entertain  anyone intrigued by rocket science. .},
