Kennedy had to keep his attention elsewhere, and after a while, what he was seeing could not have pleased him. The haze that surrounded his plane as he first climbed into the sky did not disperse, largely obscuring the fingernail paring of a moon that was out that evening. Stars were probably erased completely. Up and down the New England coast, other pilots began flying into the same soup. A number of them radioed the FAA for permission to land at alternative, inland airports, where visibility was better. But Kennedy, who never made radio contact throughout the trip, pressed...

Redford's mother-henning is one come-on, the setting another. The morning sound and smell of creek water under a wooden footbridge, the afternoon light on lush summer grass, the green-walled canyons climbing the evening sky--anyone who can't draw creative inspiration from this place should probably be shooting weddings and bar mitzvahs.

And the competition has come in droves ? companies like Ellipso, Vodafone and Teledesic (which wants to up the ante with an Internet-in-the-sky), arriving late, have benefited from improved technology and learned from Iridium?s mistakes. Meanwhile, the first star in the sky could well be the first to get shaken out when the industry matures. Even oil-rig workers may want something they can use in the bathroom...
