If the government wouldn't send him, he'd create an industry that could. His inspiration came from an unlikely place: Reading Charles Lindbergh's The spirit of St. Louis, Diamandis learned that the transatlantic flight that galvanized the airline industry was not just a stunt but an attempt to win a prize. Why, Diamandis thought, couldn't the same be done for private space flight? The story of SpaceShipOne, and the hunt for a ten-million-dollar prize is an extraordinary tale of making the impossible possible. In the end, as Diamandis dreamed, the result wasn't just a victory for one team--it was the foundation for a new industry and a new age."--Page 4 of cover. 610 20 $a SpaceShipOne (Spacecraft) 650 0 $a Space vehicles. 650 0 $a Space tourism. 651 0 $a Outer space $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Astronautics $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Entrepreneurship. 650 4 $a Space vehicles. 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20181010012726.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E86694C8CC5111E8987A620997128E48 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
