**STARRED REVIEW** Keeping the tone light and offering nods as he goes to historical figures . . . he focuses on technological advances that made space travel possible and on the awesome, sustained effort that brought President John F. Kennedy's Big Idea to fruition . . . A frank, often funny appreciation of our space program's high-water mark. --Kirkus Reviews
