Description
Ignition! An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants by John Drury Clark is a groundbreaking work that recounts the perilous search for a reliable rocket fuel. In the 1950s, rival labs embarked on a hazardous quest to defy the laws of nature, driven by the promise of unlocking space travel. Clark, an acclaimed scientist and author, shares his firsthand account of this pioneering endeavour, weaving a narrative that is as much a memoir as a work of history.
