Overview

Strap yourself in for the adventure of our generation!


50 years after the moon landings, the commercialization of space travel is finally here, but do we still know how to dream? Final Frontier recalls the heady thrill of the Apollo program and glimpses wonders yet to come. In a dozen uplifting stories by today's award-winning authors, find humor, tragedy, sacrifice and good old fashioned cussedness—with a healthy dose of optimism.


All that, plus a forward by NASA astronaut Stanley G. Love, a poem in homage to astronaut artist Alan Bean by a former NASA colleague, and a piece by Spider Robinson, inspired by Robert Heinlein and set to music by David Crosby of Crosby, Stills & Nash!
