About this product
Product Information
How did a company best known for its glass jars hit a comet 83 million miles away? The answer encompasses technical expertise, heroic dedication, a maverick scion of an industrial giant's faith in the power of technology, Hitler's infamous V-2 rocket, speakers destined for a Hall & Oates summer concert tour, and the search for life's origins.From Jars to the Stars presents an inside look into the backgrounds, character and motivations of the men and women who actually create the spacecraft on which the American space program rides. This is a timeless story of science, engineering, politics and business strategy intertwining to bring success in the brutal business of space.

Excellent Ebay seller! Item as described. My only small gripe was the name of the book was printed on the outside of the USPS package label, so anyone who handled the package could see the name of the book inside.
