Essay; Disaster Never Came
Fate has ordained, a saddened President was prepared to say, that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay to rest in peace. That was the opening line of a speech to the nation that I drafted for Richard Nixon 30 years ago this week, as Apollo XI was about to land on the moon..

Fly Me to L 1
For the last 24 hours, news reports have been soaring into orbit that President Bush and NASA are busy preparing their vision for the future of Americas space program -- and that this vision may involve sending astronauts back to the moon, and perhaps establishing some sort of permanent base there. I applaud the instinct, but I think that a moon shot alone seems more like reaching for past glory than striving for new triumphs. Instead, I think the next step in our space program should be to create a floating launching pad for manned and unmanned missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond. This is not a task for the unfinished International Space Station, which is intended to be a floating laboratory rather than a bridge to the heavens.. Op-Ed article by former astronaut Buzz Aldrin says next step in American space program should be to create floating launching pad for manned and unmanned missions to Moon, Mars and beyond in region of space called L 1, which is more than two-thirds of way to moon and is where gravity fields between Earth and Moon are in balance; says setting up space port there would offer highly stable platform from which spacecraft could head toward near-Earth asteroids, lunar surface, moons of Mars and wherever else mankind decides to travel; photo (M)

CHRONICLE
BUZZ ALDRIN, who made history when he became the second man to set foot on the moon, is on a voyage of a different sort this summer -- a book tour -- and he is returning to some of the earthbound haunts of his astronaut days. This afternoon, for example, he will be at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where 27 years ago today he blasted off on the historic Apollo 11 lunar mission. He will sign copies of his first novel, Encounter With Tiber, which he wrote with John Barnes, a science fiction writer. The novel is being published this month by Warner Books. Tomorrow, he goes to the Epcot Center at Walt Disney World. The book already sold out at the Houston Space Center, he said.

Science Fiction
When a former astronaut writes science fiction, you have every reason to expect that it will champion the benefits of space travel against the doubters and penny pinchers in the scientific and political establishment. ENCOUNTER WITH TIBER (Aspect/Warner, $21.95), by Buzz Aldrin and John Barnes, delivers the goods, and then some. Mr. Aldrin, the second man on the moon, has clearly lost none of his zest for launchings and landings, orbital insertions, aerocaptures, gravity assists and similar maneuvers necessary for getting a spaceship safely from here to there. His enthusiasm has led him, in collaboration with the author of novels like Kaleidoscope Century and Mother of Storms, to concoct a 560-page novel of the near future with a simple premise: Space holds the answer to all our problems.
Risky Business; From Giant Leaps to Baby Steps
TO read and listen to the coverage about the space shuttle, you would think NASAs mission team has taken careless risks with the lives of the seven astronauts who went into space on the Discovery last Tuesday. During the launching, foam fell off the external tank. For the risk-averse, the only acceptable thing to do now is retire the shuttle program immediately and wait for the divine arrival of the next generation of spacecraft. I am disgusted at the lack of courage and common sense this attitude shows. All progress involves risk. Risk is essential to fuel the economic engine of our nation. And risk is essential to renew Americans fundamental spirit of discovery so we remain competitive with the rest of the world.. Eugene F Kranz Op-Ed article deplores alarms being sounded in media about safety of current test mission of Discovery space shuttle, which he says has been remarkably successful so far; says that if such aversion to risk had prevailed in 1960s, US space program would never have gotten off ground; drawing (M)

Science Fiction
The prologue to EVOLUTIONS DARLING (Four Walls Eight Windows, paper, $15.95), by Scott Westerfeld, is breathtaking. Rathere, the 14-year-old daughter of a space-roving journalist, has trouble getting her fathers attention. Her constant companion is an Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) with so much computing capacity that it can pilot a starship, baby-sit for Rathere and ponder the mysteries of the universe at the same time. The danger, for Ratheres financially strapped father, is that the A.I. will raise its Turing Quotient to 1.0, which would make it, in the eyes of the law, an independent person rather than a useful piece of property. Realizing that his daughters relationship with the A.I. is driving the machine toward sentience, the father separates them. Rathere fights back in the only way she can. To nudge the A.I. over the threshold to personhood, she makes love to it -- in a scene of eerie beauty that begins with the words, Its me, darling. While the rest of this far-future novel does not quite live up to the prologue, the entire narrative brims with energy and invention. The A.I., now known as Darling, secures a body of its own (male) and earns a living tracking down rare works of art throughout the galaxy. When an apparently new work by a supposedly dead artist surfaces, Darling is dispatched to collect it. So is Mira Santiarre Hidalgo, a young woman of surprising gifts and unusual tastes, whose employers are even more shadowy than Darlings.. Gerald Jonas reviews books Evolutions Darling by Scott Westerfeld; The Jazz by Melissa Scott; The Return by Buzz Aldrin and John Barnes; and White Mars: Or, The Mind Set Free: A 21st Century Utopia by Brian W Aldiss with Roger Penrose (M)
