A book and an article about remarkable innovators in the space race
You must read the blog post by Prof Vivek Wadhwa of CMU, at
It tells us about the Penguin book How to Make A Spaceship
by Julian Guthrie.
It also talks about the great aircraft designer (visit About Burt Rutan and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burt_Rutan
). I had passed through the Seattle
Airport a few days ago and had spent a few minutes admiring the mock up of the
Voyager aircraft Rutan had built for flying around the world non-stop, without refueling,
thirty years ago. (Visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutan_Voyager ) So, I was doubly thrilled to read Vivek
Wadhwa’s article today.
There is a great quote from Burt Rutan I would like to bring
to your attention as I conclude this short note:
“breakthroughs help define our species – without them, we get
boredom and mediocrity and low expectations for the future” (Visit http://www.ethanzuckerman.com/blog/2006/10/14/burt-rutan-on-breakthrough-innovation/
).
