The Space Barons is the story of a group of billionaire entrepreneurs who are pouring their fortunes into the epic resurrection of the American space program. Nearly a half century after Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, these Space Barons—most notably Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, along with Richard Branson and Paul Allen—are using Silicon Valley-style innovation to dramatically lower the cost of space travel and send humans even further than NASA has gone.

Bill Bryson has been an enormously popular author both for his travel books and for his books on the English language. Now, this beloved comic genius turns his attention to science. Although he doesn't know anything about the subject (at first), he is eager to learn, and takes information that he gets from the world's leading experts and explains it to us in a way that makes it exciting and relevant.

Too much geological
Reviewed: 02-15-18
I think he could have cut geology in half (seemed like hours) and covered some sciences like Edison, Tesla etc. But overall the book is good and helps understand many subjects.

What did you love best about Unstoppable?
Bill Nye does a great job explaining current and possible future energy sources. He also does a nice job explaining the pro's and cons of current energy methods. The book was very interesting all the way through. I listened to his book on Audible in my car and was always anxious to get back at it, and was kind of sad when I came to the end of the book. Great job Bill!
What about Bill Nye’s performance did you like?
He does a very good job narrating the book.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Bill Nye the world savior kind of guy
Any additional comments?
Bill keep pressure on politicians to offer incentives for alternative energy sources and to conduct research on methods that can be used to fight climate change.
