There's a new book out called "Rocketeers: How a Visionary Band of Business Leaders, Engineers and Pilots is Boldly Privatizing Space" by Michael Belfione. See: Tales of the Rocketeers (MSNBC)

I'm wondering if anyone has had a chance to read this as yet, and their opinion on it, as I'm considering ordering a copy.

There's a rather fawning excerpt of a review here:
http://powerlineblog.com/archives/018381.php

I'm slightly wary about the reviews I expect to see about this book. The subject is worthy of a good book. But the problem is that this is an ideologically charged issue--the people who are likely to review this book first are those who are most likely to believe that the rocket entrepreneurs are saviors, so they're not likely to give an unbiased review.

The book could be good or bad, but consider any reviewer bias before making your decision.
