I first read this book as a aimless 16-year old kid...now I'm an astrophysicist./blockquote>
Picked up this book randomly at a book store - glad I did. I managed to plow through it in a few sittings. Sagan provides a prescient explanation of the methods and motivations of the space program. Its interesting to google some of the unanswered questions raised in this book, merely 15 years old, and find that some of those questions have hence been answered.
