Kritik
"Norris presents a well-argued and readable answer to the titular question, accessible to both technical specialists and enthusiasts alike, which this reviewer will not spoil by revealing. ... The true test of Norris' analysis will be time itself." (Andy Sinharay, Aerospace, November, 2020)
"It takes a fresh and very readable approach, introducing much information that I at least was unaware of. ... I found this book to be an absorbing and refreshing read. I'm sure that Odyssey readers will view it in the same vein." (John Silvester, Odyssey The e-Magazine of the British Interplanetary Society, Issue 63, 2019)mehr
