Description:

This is the HARDCOVER EDITION of the book. The New York Times calls the Galileo Project, "Like trying to go to the moon...during the time of Jules Verne." 'Say Goodbye To The Sun' spans vast distances to tell the story of the ultimate adventure. It begins with a chance discovery in the New Mexico desert. It leads to man's first real attempt to find life beyond our Solar System. 'Say Goodbye' is a story of survival against incredible odds, of discovery, and the basic struggle between good and evil. It is a tale of action and high adventure, and a triumph of the human spirit. It is not your typical space odyssey. Originally written in 1982, the only known copy of the manuscript was lost after the book was rejected by several publishers as being 'far fetched.' Twenty years later, a previously unknown copy was found in an attic in Seattle. Today, many of the devices and inventions used in the 1982 version of the novel have become reality. A fascinating and exciting read.
