NEW BOOK
My buddy Brian Binnie, the test pilot who flew the privately-developed SpaceShipOne into space to capture the coveted Ansari X Prize, has written a brilliant book documenting that challenge. It's being released on October 4 but I had the privilege of reading a draft. Trust me when I tell you that it is a riveting, fascinating and detailed look inside one of the most exciting efforts in space exploration history: putting a man into space without a single dime of government funding. All of this happened 16 years before Tesla Space X's first manned flight.
Brian is making signed copies of the book, along with some other wonderful goodies, available at cost for pre-orders. Please visit his site for details.

The Perfection Point
#4 on the New York Times Bestseller list
“Beyond fascinating. An imagined scenario...accompanies each chapter. They aren't just hypothetical vignettes but truly moving accounts that move beyond sports journalism and approach literature."
-BBC
"If you're interested in understanding the American character, there are plenty of texts to consult— including, of course, the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence and Alexis de Tocqueville's meditations on this country. Here's another work to add to the mix: John Brenkus's "The Perfection Point," about the absolute limits of human athletic performance."
-Wall Street Journal
"Sure to spark debate in sporting and scientific circles, the book is engagingly written, well argued, and —even when the conclusions seem almost science-fictiony— entirely plausible."
-Booklist (*starred review)
