Olga Bannova, MS-Space Architecture, Research Associate Professor, SICSA:

Although there are many examples of literature about the history of human space exploration, the “Chase for Space” book stands alone giving a reader a chance to look at our space exploration journey from a different angle of emerging new private enterprise possibilities. The book can definitely be a helpful reference book for one who is interested in investigating space exploration and current commercial space enterprises.

Andreas Vogler, MSc ETH Arch, Director, Architecture and Vision:

Trošt lets us be part of these views in his beautifully laid out book, where many full double page pictures and interviews with some of the pioneers of private spaceflight like Burt Rutan give us the sensation of standing right at the horizon of this new age of space flight. A challenge, not only for architects.
