From Publishers Weekly
Journalist Burrows's ( Deep Black ) time-capsule history of interplanetary space flight focuses on the "golden age" of unmanned space exploration: the robot flights of deep-space probes like Voyager, Pioneer, Ranger and Magellan. Political wrangling by sketchily-drawn bigwigs in U.S. space programs cast a pall over achievements in space as reported here. Even launch-room quotes from NASA officials do not add enough flavor to this dense stew of technical tidbits, committee reports and personality profiles. Only in late-chapter accounts of "Astropolitics: No Parades for Robots" and "Tomorrowland" do Burrows's arguments for extending the reach of technology into the solar system finally lift off from the muddle of bureaucratic history. Photos.
