Product Description:
Based on the Nebula Award–winning novella
The morning after Neil Armstrong's funeral, a ghostly Saturn V rocket launches from Cape Canaveral. It shakes the ground and rumbles with all the fury of a real launch, sending back telemetry all the way to the moon, stopping at the point where a human would have to take control to land. NASA is shocked when this ghost launch becomes a monthly experience. When humanity loses interest, the rocket becomes near invisible. When we pay attention, Jerry Oltion's expanded Nebula Award-winning novella shows us that reality is what we make of it.

The ghostly spacecraft reaches Moon orbit, then vanishes. This phenomenon repeats itself several ... Read More

Great story, but the first part of the book, first 200 pages went way to fast and let out a lot of info. Over all a good book.

Those reviewers who complaing about the second part of the book need to remember that reality is what you make of it ;)
Yes, it is true that you can clearly tell where the original short story ends. But this doesn't mean that the rest of the story is bad only that it's a _different_ story. In first part the core idea remains unexplained but we get an exiting and thrilling ride from its application. In the second part Oltion explores the core idea itself. Basically it is an intelligent approach ... Read More
