EVERYTHING IS FLYING
From Ancient Skies to Deep Space: How Space Technology Shapes Life on Earth
What do a 3,000-tonne rocket roaring through the sky at Mach 25, a carpenter's clock, and a spilled glass of wine have in common? They all obey the same wonderfully chaotic rules of motion, and those rules changed the course of human history.
What Readers Are Saying
"Everything is Flying is an easily accessible story that creates a concise mini-encyclopedia of space history, while demystifying the technology and the science. It is a very readable source of facts and information. As an argument for continued exploration and endeavor—from someone who has been fortunate enough to see the Earth from the edge of space—I believe it deserves a place on everyone’s bookshelf."
David Mackay
Former Chief Pilot, Virgin Galactic
A Journey Through Motion
Everything Is Flying tells the story of how humanity learned to understand those rules to eventually build the space technologies that now shape everyday life on Earth.
Everything in the universe is moving, and over centuries humanity learned to understand and master that motion.
Everything Is Flying traces that extraordinary journey from early astronomy to modern rockets and satellites.
Along the way, it reveals how the machines racing above our heads have become a vital part of the infrastructure of modern life.
