LDRL Recommends: Rocket Boys By: Home Hickam

Staff Member: Joel

 

Joel says, “Rocket Boys is the memoir of Homer Hickman, a noted engineer at NASA. It is the story of a young boy whose dream of spaceflight would set him on a trajectory very far away from his dying coal-mining town in West Virginia. It is a remarkably honest book that details his triumphs, failures, and on occasion, dangerous explosions from his handmade rockets.”
