<\/p>\n

When I was a boy in the Midwest I used to go out and look at the stars at night and wonder about them.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I guess every boy has done that.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0When I wasn’t looking at the stars, I was running in my old or my brand-new tennis shoes, on my way to swing in a tree, swim in a lake, or delve in the town library to read about dinosaurs or Time Machines.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I guess every boy has done that, too.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0This is a book about those stars and those tennis shoes. Mainly about the stars, because that is the way I grew up, getting more and more involved with rockets and space as I moved toward my twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth years.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Not that I have forgotten the tennis shoes and their powerful magic, as you will see in the last story here, which I have included not because it concerns the Future, but because it gives you some sort of idea of the kind of boy I was when I was looking at the stars and thinking of the Years Ahead.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Nor have I forgotten the dinosaurs that all boys love; they are here, too, along with a Machine that travels back in Time to step on a butterfly.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0This is a book then by a boy who grew up in a small Illinois town and lived to see the Space Age arrive, as he hoped and dreamt it would.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I dedicate these stories to all boys who wonder about the Past, run swiftly in the Present, and have high hopes for our Future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
