Review # 1 was written on 2011-07-25 00:00:00 Roger Gray I really enjoyed this. Not too technical, lots of human interest, and really talks about the Rocketdyne design philosophy (and how that doesn't mesh with the Space Shuttle Main Engine).

Review # 2 was written on 2014-04-30 00:00:00 Fabio Ravelli This book is framed around the author's father, who worked at JPL. It is about their difficult relationship and also discusses some of the history and key figures at JPL. She speaks of some of the controversies, from the early days with the involvement of former Nazi scientists, to the later shifting gender roles. While this was interesting, for a more in-depth history of JPL, I preferred Nathalia Holt's Rise of the Rocket Girls.
