Following the Apollo program put 12 men on the moon and carefully brought them home, anything appeared possible. On this spirit, the team at NASA go about developing the area shuttle, probably the most complicated piece of machinery ever created. The world's first reusable spacecraft, it launched just like a rocket, landed just like a glider, and carried out complicated missions among. Daring They Rise tells the storyplot of the area shuttle through the non-public experiences of the astronauts, engineers, and scientists who made it happen - in space and on the ground, from the times of research and design through the heroic achievements of the program to the tragic previous minutes of the Challenger disaster. In the participants' own voices, we learn what so few are privy to: what it was prefer to create a fresh form of spacecraft, to associated risk one's life trials that build, to float readily in the vacuum of space as a one-man satellite, to see a friend's fatality. A "led head to" of the shuttle - in historical, scientific, and personal terms - this reserve provides a attractive, richly prepared, and deeply personal view of any feat without parallel in the human story.
