That took a while. I was afraid to read it at night for fear I would suffer a head injury when it fell on me. I haven't enjoyed orbital mechanics so much since reading Have Spacesuit Will Travel. In fact, this book reminded me very much of Heinlein. I'm not sure why. Noble teenage narrator, math whizzes in charge of everything, the plot--as mere filler for the scientific content, etc. I will read this again during the summer.
