Grazer 1
$15.99Add to cartAsteroids and comets travel through our solar system like runaway freight trains on a collision course with anything that might come in their way. Earth has had its experiences with these planet-colliding objects before, including one that crashed in the Yucatan Peninsula some 65 million years ago, causing what scientists believe today to be the Ice Age. It will happen again. The question to ask is when? Hale McCormick Trask (H.M.) is an ordinary person waiting for direction in life when he logs onto an Internet contest that will change his life forever. The winner spends two weeks aboard Grazer I, an international solar-array space station used to study ultraviolet light, near earth objects, and short period comets that come in contact with the sun. What he does not realize is that his life is about to be changed from fame to destiny. What starts out as a space contest for fame and recognition just could end up in the ultimate struggle for survival for him and all humanity.
