Moon landings and space walks once captivated the public’s attention, but in recent decades, the United States space enterprise has felt moribund. 

Now, that’s finally about to change. Join The Washington Post journalist and author, Christian Davenport as he discusses his new book, Rocket Dreams: Musk, Bezos, and the Inside Story of the New Trillion-Dollar Space Race, and the modern golden age of space with fellow science journalist Alan Boyle. 


The Reviews for Rocket Dreams Are In!

“Davenport is impressively sourced and his book is a fine piece of reporting; historians will be able to use this first draft of rocket history to craft deeper analyses of our first real steps as a space-faring society.”
The New York Times

“[Davenport] deftly blends nuanced portraits of his principals with accessible explanations of the relevant technology and fascinating space lore. Timely, thorough reporting on the companies vying for supremacy in the final frontier.”
Kirkus
