1.0 out of 5 stars
Disasterously Inaccurate,
By Terry Wilson "aftercolumbia" (Calgary) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rocket Science: Rocket Science in the Second Millennium: Apogee Books Space Series 45 (Paperback)
I've never seen such a work in print as this. I've been able to identify factual errors on almost every page, and often contradictions between technical specifications which are accurate, and in the main text general statements which are not. Captions clash with the text and are also generally incorrect. Even numbers for ascent and maneuver are wrong. On top of that, the author occasionally replaces a fact with his incorrect opinion (i.e. the nature and development history of the RD-107/108 multi-chambered engine.)
... perhaps it should be encouraging to aspiring first-time authors. (To Amazon: I have sent a much more detailed email to Collector's Guide regarding this volume on 26 February. Unsurprisingly, they have not responded yet.) |
