Very nice...although this quote is actually Bradbury and not Fallaci, I popped off to Amazon to find her book "If the Sun Dies," and it's out of print. :( I had not heard of Fallaci until I read "The Rage and the Pride," and am interested that she wrote a book on space. Time to check out the used book stores and libraries...

Mark Wade is apparently ambivalent on the book:

Fallaci, Oriana, If the Sun Dies, Kingsport Press, New York, 1966. Comment: Impressionistic ramble through the American space program at the peak of its promise. Pre-Right Stuff, the only portrait of astronauts as human beings. Inspirational and irritating.
