In April, 2003, a company called Scaled Composites introduced SpaceShipOne to the world. SpaceShipOne chronicles the development of the world's first commercial manned space program-a program that includes an airborne launcher (the White Knight), a space ship (SpaceShipOne), rocket propulsion, avionics, simulator, and full ground support. With ample illustrations, photographs, and behind-the-scenes information, SpaceShipOne provides a full picture of this classified project.

In 2004, Dan Linehan attended the launch of SpaceShipOne when it captured the Ansari x Prize. A senior science editor for educational publishing companies, he has a background in physics and engineering and has written numerous articles about aviation and space. Linehan lives in Monterey, CA.
