The Right Stuff: Interviews with Icons of the 1960s, is available just in time for Father’s day.

I wrote the forward to it and the SpaceShipOne story will appear when the chronology finally gets to the 2000’s.

I met Jim via the eclectic Explorers Club and he is regular contributor to Forbes Magazine.

Cheers, Brian
