Acknowledgements

As with any creative work, there are those who work behind the scenes to make it all possible. My endeavor was no exception. Many thanks to family and friends who have helped along the way!

Special thanks to my dear friend Gary Stone, who shares my fascination with all things NASA, who appreciated the book’s concept immediately and who eagerly read each new chapter.

To Kari Stone, who set out to simply read the manuscript, but soon found she couldn’t help but edit. First it was a chapter or two, then eventually she had edited the entire manuscript. Thanks to you and your red pen!

Many wonderful people have come in and out of my life during the course of writing this novel, and offered ideas, guidance, constructive criticism, insight, inspiration and encouragement. A few come to mind: RJ Sellers, Don Chambers, Rogelio Quesada, Ann Hills, Rose Wisuri, Rebecca Thompson, Barbara Owens, Debra Mayes, Bonnie Osbakken, Gordon Twa, and James A. Landaker. There are others, too, whose names have slipped my memory but whose input won’t be forgotten.

For my father Joseph Guiteras, who taught me to love science, and my mother Margaret Guiteras, who began correcting my grammar at an early age and never let up. Your contributions can’t be measured.

To my beautiful wife Lisa who remained patient and supportive of me over the past five years while I plodded along at the keyboard, read countless passages and chapters aloud, and watched the NASA channel hour after hour. I love you.
