I raced though it, living in that world, amazed by these teenagers who had more courage than I ever did.
I didn't expect it to go where it did.

The book itself is beautiful with sound waves (I think?) printed on the edges of the pages and the last few pages become darker and darker with images of space. Glad I checked out the hardback from the library.

The quotes from astronauts at the end of the book made me cry.
