It’s here! My video production partner Mark Greene of Pecos Pictures posted a video promoting my book Rocketeers to YouTube last night.
The piece includes video we shot in Huntsville, Alabama along with great clips from many of the major players in the commercial spaceflight industry. Take four minutes to check it out–and turn it up!
Many thanks to Mark, who wrote, directed, and produced the piece, and to all the good people at NASA, Orion Propulsion, Armadillo Aerospace, XCOR Aerospace, ATK, the X PRIZE Foundation, Blue Origin, Bigelow Aerospace, and Virgin Galactic who contributed footage.
Hey, I thought it was kinda cool that the thumbnail was one of our XCOR engine runs- it’s even better that _everybody_ has some great b-roll footage these days.
The music is a little bombastic though, ain’t it?

Space belongs to synthrock. Take that, Richard Strauss!
