I. THY WILL BE DONE
1. Forty minutes later he was up in the sky
2. He would never see other humans the same way again
3. The grand adventure could surely wait
4. ‘Hello everybody,’ he said
5. Just as he recognised them for what they were
6. His whole life had been leading up to this
7. Approved, transmitted
8. Take a deep breath and count to a million
9. The choir resumed
II. ON EARTH
10. The happiest day of my life
11. He realised for the first time that she was beautiful, too
12. Looking back, almost certainly, that was when it happened
13. The engine kindled into life
14. Lost in the mighty unison
15. Hero of the moment, king of the day
16. Toppling off an axis, falling through space
17. Still blinking under the word ‘here’
18. I need to talk to you, she said
19. He would learn it if it killed him
20. Everything would be all right if she only could
III. AS IT IS
21. There is no God, she wrote
22. Alone with you by my side
IV. IN HEAVEN
23. A drink with you
24. The Technique of Jesus
25. Some of us have work to do
26. He only knew that thanks were due
27. Stay where you are
28. Amen
