Our Destiny is In the StarsThe space age began on October 4, 1957 when the Soviet Union put the first Sputnik satellite into orbit. Then came Yuri Gagarin and then Neil Armstrong. Now, almost half a century later, as people plan a return to the Moon and journeys to Mars and even beyond, the idea that humans might retreat back to an earthbound existence seems far-fetched.In The Endless Frontier, irving creates visions of the wonders, the triumphs and the hardships of building a space-faring civilization. There are poems telling stories of world ships and colonies, strange aliens and even stranger humans. Step away from Earth and into a greater universe than you have ever known.
