North to Wrigley: End of the Summer Road is half travelogue, half repair manual, half endurance test, half autobiography—and perhaps a quarter philosophic dabbling.

Most people believe that one of the greatest technological achievements happened in 1969, when Neil Armstrong allegedly walked on the surface of the Moon. The last Apollo mission ended in 1972 and later manned space missions never travelled beyond low earth orbit, despite enormous advances in many technologies.
