The Ask Science podcast is on hiatus, but we still want to share science stories we think you'll love. Today, we're sharing a special excerpt from the audiobook Test Gods by Nicholas Schmidle, from our friends at Macmillan Audio.
Test Gods tells the remarkable story of the test pilots, engineers, and visionaries behind Virgin Galactic’s campaign to build a space tourism company. It's an epic story about extreme bravery and sacrifice, and the thin line between lunacy and genius. Most of all, it is a story about the pursuit of meaning in our lives—and the fulfillment of our dreams.
In this audiobook, you'll follow a handful of characters like Mark Stucky, Virgin’s lead test pilot; Richard Branson, the eccentric billionaire funding the venture; Mike Moses, the grounded, unflappable president; and Mike Alsbury, the test pilot killed in a fatal crash. All characters share a common goal: to make space tourism a reality.
