Ask HN: Good books about SpaceX and New Space?

After watching a video on Youtube by Perun about New Space and SpaceX I was hooked to read and learn more about SpaceX. Despite its newest turn into far - right I still think Musk was a great entrepreneur.

So I bought the book Liftoff by Eric Berger but I was disappointed by the shallow content. Neither I had any deeper comments on the space market before SpaceX, Musk in the book is basically a genius without any mistakes and no technical deep dives into rocketry.

So maybe the community might suggest any book, podcast, documentary, film, video game etc. about SpaceX or/and New Space? (ok, no kerbal space program ;)

Market structures, early days of the company/companies, maybe the good and bad sides of Musk personality back then. Plus points if they look outside of the US.

Language I can understand : German, English, and more or less French or Polish.
