Our take
AI-draftedBerger's follow-up to Liftoff trades origin-story drama for something harder to pull off: an inside account of an organization at the peak of its execution, told through more than a hundred interviews with the engineers who actually built Falcon 9's reusability. The more interesting tension is one Berger doesn't resolve: the same relentless, boundary-blind culture that made the reusable rocket possible is inseparable from the version of Musk now reshaping politics.
In the press
“Fascinating, earnest, well-researched, and fairly well written.”
