Dad's Ladder to the Moon

By John Pease Moore III

Dad's Ladder to the moon is a story of a father encouraging his son to take on his project of designing a ladder to the moon. Johnathan is a rising star in aeronautical engineering from an early age and is sent off to NASA Space Camp. There, he and other gifted science superstars are recruited and fast-tracked through an intense program toward forming a new breed of astronaut corp. The book details their training, education at the military academies, and their eventual involvement in the first mission where the Ladder to the Moon is utilized. The story includes portrayal of loving family relationships of the young astronauts. Burgeoning young romances among the astronaut candidates are recounted. The story lays out plausible science and a design for an actual Ladder to the Moon. It provides technical references about large aerospace corporations, some you have not heard about, who are facilitating alternative approaches to space travel. The inspiration for the author was: - The absolute pleasure of being the father of a rising star in the field of aeronautics and the loving family relationships involved. - The author's belief that no one should go to the grave without putting their novel ideas out there, no matter how far-fetched, as they may have one piece of merit in advancing humankind. - The author's imagining of an adventure plausible as a new brand of astronaut evolves based on corporations becoming dominant in space exploration - The actual race many countries have engaged in to build actual elevators or a "Ladder to the Moon".
