    Summary

    There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation may never come again. But why, some say, the Moon? Why choose this as our goal? [...] We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too.

    *A story of friendship, hardship, love, and loss set against the vast glittering backdrop of space--both awe inspiring and terrifying. A question pondering what would happen if humanity valued science and the betterment of the collective over that of the individual. Would you give up it all? Family? Friends? Love? Would you lay it all down at the feet of the everlasting nothing?*
