I wish it was so easy like that, but it seems that commercial books don't
give a level of detail arbitrarily high, and when it comes to Astronautics
the devil is in the details... If it was just a question of following a book
recipe, we wouldn't have blown up our two first prototype orbital launchers.
(Nowadays, Brazilian launch technology is about the same level of American
launch technology in the late 50's - early 60's: one blown rocket straight
after the other.)
