  I also enjoyed "Project Orion: The True Story of the Atomic Spaceship" by Dyson. It's about another grand engineering project at the edge of possibility: Building spaceships powered by nuclear bombs that theoretically could lift whole cities to the stars and accelerate to 3% of the speed of light.
