Taming Liquid Hydrogen
Another free NASA historical book I've been reading through, I wish I'd read it before making yesterdays video because there's a fun anecdote in there involving hitting a balloon tank with a sledgehammer. Also the reason why Pratt And Whitney got to develop the RL-10 engine despite having no rocket engine experience before.

Me & kid just signed up, Scott; and thanks for the great vids. Me boy found you with KSP, which he still loves, but we both watch all your rocket videos, and I follow your atomic series ( I rec'd R Rhodes books). i'm a chemist so I love all the chemistry, I'll read the H2 book. Fly Safe. Oh, P.S. we visited Korolev's house & the museum across the street. Catch it next time you're in Vladomyrsk
There are so many incredible history books available from NASA, and each one is filled with cool topics that could be spun into videos. :-)
