Would you like to know the methods that rocket scientists use—expressed in a way that
you could apply to your everyday life? The book you are holding does just that. Illustrated
are the methods (the 7 secrets) with anecdotes, quotations and biographical sketches
of famous scientists, ideas from sci-fi, personal stories and insights, and occasionally a
bit of space history. It turns out that rocket science is just common sense applied to the
extraordinarily uncommon environment of outer space. (And that rocket scientists are
people, too!)
