Synopsis
This volume opens with an examination of the relationship between humans and the universe around them. Each chapter is based on an individual programme from the "Equinox" television series. "Space Junk" looks at what will happen to all the rubbish from space missions; "Moon Dreams" presents scientists' and entrepreneurs' plans for the moon; "If we had no Moon" features the story of how our, and the Earth's, life stories are intimately bound up with the moon; "Space Shuttle Discovery" is an in-depth view of a space-shuttle mission; "Moscow we have a Problem" is the story of Michael Foal's adventures and the the Mir space station; and "Day Return to Space" looks at the race to perfect re-usable rockets.
