About This Book

Presented as a series of telegrams, the story follows urgent exchanges about repeated launch delays caused by persistent fog and mounting political pressure to proceed. Correspondence reveals a death later ruled a suicide and discussions about appeasing a demanding legislator. Under pressure, base personnel turn to unorthodox, nontechnical measures described as ceremonial dances that finally clear the weather and permit the launch, leaving ethical questions and bureaucratic strain in their wake.
