Stern and Grinspoon show us what NASA can do when the United States brings its best. New Horizons is still flying, and for us Plutophiles it’s the adventure of a lifetime.

Thrilling… a future classic of popular science, full of twists and turns and unexpected heroes…with a dramatic and profound payoff.

Chasing New Horizons is a cliff-hanger, a page-turner, a spine-tingler, and, ultimately, a reason to stand up and cheer.

To Pluto and beyond! This is a thrilling and very human account of one of the greatest scientific adventures of our generation.
