Tracks range from a jazzy instrumental ("Photosynthesis"), swooning vocals cum lethargic guitar slosh ("Spaceship") and a toned-down big band Wild West chronicle ("Part One of the Cowboy Trilogy"), all mixed up with love songs galore.

Someday a team of men and women might board a spaceship and fly the 15 light-years to a small, low-mass star called Gliese 876.

But the world has grown too small, which is why the book's main characters take off for Jupiter in a spaceship equipped with booster rockets. "The future glory of the human race," concludes Astor, "lies in exploring at least the solar system." Ironically, this dreamer of technical progress, especially of huge powerful ships, went down with the Titanic...
