Chief engineer Thomas J. Kelly gives a firsthand account of designing, building, testing, and flying the Apollo lunar module. It was, he writes, “an aerospace engineer’s dream job of the century.” Kelly’s account begins with the imaginative process of sketching solutions to a host of technical challenges with an emphasis on safety, reliability, and maintainability. He catalogs numerous test failures, including propulsion-system leaks, ascent-engine instability, stress corrosion of the aluminum alloy parts, and battery problems, as well as their fixes under the ever-present constraints of budget and schedule. He also recaptures the exhilaration of hearing Apollo 11’s Neil Armstrong report that “The Eagle has landed,” and the pride of having inadvertently provided a vital “lifeboat” for the crew of the disabled Apollo 13.

Geeter, not much more than a boy, is running from the shadows cast by the death of his father. Wode, a gnoseer: one of a sacred group possessing a deep knowledge of energy and power of the Inner Realms, seeing and knowing what most cannot. He is called to The Tree of Knowledge for a question of destiny; his answer for one reaches into depths of karma for all. But Wode has his own need of regeneration after the death of his wife. The shared journey the two voyagers begin has consequences neither can have imagined. What are the incredible powers that Wode's teachings begin to unleash in Geeter? How can Wode move past his grief and return to his true spirit? Smiling the Moon is a beautiful fable that is rich with magical encounters, unexpected detours and meetings between souls.
