About this listen

Breaking All The Rules: The Inside Story of the New Race traces the origins of a second Space Race that began at the end of the original 1960s US-Soviet space race and eventually led to SpaceX and the explosive growth in commercial space being seen today. The story covers how this revolution began with a band of misfit engineers and scientists and the inside story of how this was eventually ignited with the money and vision of billionaires such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson. This amazing story shows how serendipity, historical change, discontented individuals, entrepreneurial vision, and immense wealth combined to change the world as we know it.

Author Jim Cantrell is the consummate space insider whose 35 years in the space business has given him a front row seat to the inside happenings as the New Space Race played out. Sometimes self-described as the "Forrest Gump Of Space", Jim's story is an amazing intersection with historical figures and events. From working with the Soviets in east-west space cooperation near the end of the Soviet Union, to joint US/Russian missile defense experiments to the founding of SpaceX, Jim was there and tells the story in a compelling first-person narrative that puts the listener alongside the author as events unfold.
