Ignition!

Available for the first time in audio, Ignition! is the story of the search for a rocket propellant that could be trusted to take the man into space. This search was a hazardous enterprise carried out by rival labs that worked against the known laws of nature, with no guarantee of success or safety. John Drury Clark, acclaimed scientist and sci-fi author, writes with irreverent and eyewitness immediacy about the development of explosive fuels strong enough to negate the relentless restraints of gravity.
