Title: A fun read
Product review: Dr. Anson Clemons has always wanted to be an astronaut, but never gets accepted for the program, so continues with his research into alternate propulsion sources, with the assistance of his graduate students. He knows the science says it's possible to create a warp bubble to allow effectively faster than light travel, but how to power it? Then two of his graduate students are inspired by a comment he makes to actually invent the power source he needs, and he's able to get the government funding to continue. And along the way, he trains to fly on the Space Shuttle to assemble their prototype in orbit for a test flight, but others are interested in their work, and not inclined to play nicely..."Doc" Travis IS a rocket scientist, and that comes across pretty clearly, but this is NOT a science textbook, and the technical descriptions are kept at a fairly high level. I made the mistake of picking up the book fairly late, and had INTENDED to go to bed well before 2am...
