ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I am indebted for assistance, advice, and encouragement to: Franklin R. Chang-

D íaz of the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center; Ted Dunham and Bruce Koehn of the Lowell

Observatory; Terry Gipson, St. Louis Science Center; Sergei Pershman, University of

Pennsylvania; Eileen Ryan, Kitt Peak National Observatory; Jim Sharp, formerly of the

Smithsonian Air & Space Museum; George Tindle, U.S. Customs Service; and Judith A.

Tyner, California State University, Long Beach.

The manuscript also profited from the guidance of Fred Espenak of NASA

Goddard, both directly and from his excellent book, Fifty Year Canon of Solar

Eclipses: 1986-2035 (Sky Publishing Corp., Cambridge, MA, 1988). Thanks to Ben

Bova for permission to use his version of Moonbase, the details of which were

derived particularly from Welcome to Moonbase (Ballantine Books, 1987).

Geoff Chester of the U.S. Naval Observatory and science fiction writer Walt Cuirle

of the Isaac Asimov Seminar were subjected to constant harassment during the

production of this book. They bore up patiently and both are, I believe, still talking to

me.

Maureen McDevitt helped the manuscript through several incarnations, and Caitlin

Blasdell provided her usual good judgment at HarperPrism. Thanks also to Dolores

Dwyer for editorial assistance.

Ron Peiffer assisted with the Coast Guard segments, and Lewis Shiner brought the

duct tape.
