The first pictures sent back included the logo of a small company in Boulder, Colorado—Starsys Research—which had built 27 motors powering the rover and its instruments. Starsys was founded by Scott Tibbitts, an ex-ski bum\/nuclear engineer, from an invention made of hardware store parts and wax.\n\nStarsys ultimately flew 3,500 devices on 350 spacecraft, its success a direct result of a corporate culture that became legend in the space business for its emphasis on Fun and Family.\n\nScott brings the reader along for the ride of creating a space company from scratch, providing a visceral experience of the extraordinary highs and soul-wrenching lows.\n\nIt is a must-read for space enthusiasts, Shark Tank junkies, and entrepreneur \/ CEOs who will benefit from the hacks and tools Scott shares for creating legendary corporate cultures.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1595989870\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.1595989870.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Tibbitts, Scott\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Excellent condition with just a hint of character.
