“This book provides background and discusses the plans of XCOR and the Lynx spaceplane… The book also covers secondary objectives, including other missions and payloads being developed for this system. … This work is recommended for high school or undergraduate educational programs, for general readers interested in the development of the commercial space industry, and for dreamers who see the human race migrating beyond low Earth orbit. Summing Up: Recommended. All readers.” (D. B. Spencer, Choice, Vol. 54 (3), November, 2016)
