书籍简介

一家摇摇欲坠的初创公司是如何超越预期，成为世界航天公司的？了解这个由知名亿万富翁领导的改变游戏规则团队不为人知的故事，他们将把美国宇航局的宇航员送入太空——甚至可能将人类送上火星。

一家公司主宰着现代航天业：SpaceX，由备受争议的企业家埃隆·马斯克于 2002 年创立，目前向轨道发射的有效载荷比世界其他地区加起来还要多。但马斯克并不是一个人做到的——SpaceX 的传奇故事是一群真正相信太空旅行无限潜力的多元化人才的故事。

《重返大气层》讲述了这支勇敢的团队如何重新定义到达星空所需的权威编年史。

·在普利策奖提名记者、《升空》作者埃里克·伯杰的带领下，您将陪伴 SpaceX 的创新思想家们经历艰难的考验和大胆的时刻，包括：

·制造一枚可自行着陆并再次飞行的轨道火箭

·将一枚 120 英尺高的火箭从德克萨斯州运送到佛罗里达州

·在初次猎鹰重型火箭发射前从“地狱之钟”事故中恢复过来

·在海洋中疯狂搜寻完好无损地溅落的火箭

·识别导致火箭在飞行中爆炸的价值 20 美元的零件

在发动机发射前几天将其切开

从发射台爆炸到恶性蟋蟀侵扰，再到马斯克本人苛刻的管理风格，SpaceX 的崛起充满了挑战，远非必然。了解这家初创公司如何克服困难，飞得足够高，超越竞争对手……以及他们下一步将去哪里。

How did a shaky startup defy expectations and become the world’s leading spaceflight company? Get the untold story of the team of game-changers, led by a well-known billionaire, who are sending NASA astronauts to space—and just might carry the human race to Mars.

One company dominates the modern space industry: SpaceX, founded by controversial entrepreneur Elon Musk in 2002, now sending more payloads into orbit than the rest of the world combined. But Musk didn’t do it alone—the saga of SpaceX is the story of a diverse cadre of true believers in the limitless potential of space travel.

For the first time, Reentry relates the definitive chronicle of how this daring team was able to redefine what it takes to reach the stars.

·With Pulitzer Prize–nominated journalist Eric Berger, author of Liftoff, as your guide, you’ll accompany SpaceX’s innovative thinkers during their toughest trials and most audacious moments, including:

·Creating the first orbital rockets that land by themselves and fly again

·Transporting a 120-foot rocket from Texas to Florida

·Recovering from a “Hell’s Bells” accident before the first Falcon Heavy launch

·Frantically searching the ocean for the first rocket that splashed down intact

·Identifying the $20 part that led to a rocket exploding in flight

Slicing up an engine days before it launched into space

From launchpad explosions to a pernicious cricket infestation to the demanding management style of Musk himself, the rise of SpaceX was beset with challenges and far from inevitable. Find out how the startup beat the odds and flew high enough to outpace their rivals . . . and where they’re going next.
