Space travel is like war with much boredom followed by frantic activity. Major fires, air full of anti-freeze, supply ships crashing into the hull and an alarm system in constant action and all this in what was in effect a thin-skinned floating junk room. Jerry writes like the all-American patriot/hero he is but the passion seems to flow from the frustrated efforts of the Russian crew to deal with their own ground-control and failing equipment.
