A Thrilling Tale of a Space Ship's Voyage to the Moon--and Beyond!

The world's first interstellar flight is financed by making it into a television show.

Galaxy reviewer Groff Conklin praised the novel as "a fast-paced, sardonic job that is primarily a satire on the future of mass communications."
