description: This brilliantly optimistic book tells us, and shows us, that for every problem besetting us here on Earth there is a solution - and it is to be found in space. In Robert McCall, space has one of its earliest advocates and its most eloquent and graphic apostle. The artist’s paintings hang in the Pentagon, in the Air Force Academy, and in air bases around the world as well as in many private galleries and homes. Ben Bova’s text covers the entire history of our exploration of space, as well as McCall’s career and involvement. Skepticism dissolves in the presence of Robert McCall’s elegant, colorful, intricate realization of all these possibilities. And as Ben Bova points out, in our own day we have already seen vision become reality. This is but the beginning of our inevitable journey to the stars.
