That's a great story. Do you know what book it was?

I used to have a big thing for Carl Sagan's Contact. And the film - well, not the whole film, but the bit that always gets me is Jodie Foster's character sitting in her little space capsule about to be shot into a wormhole, as the whole thing's falling apart around her and she has no idea what's about to happen and is obviously terrified, but she keeps yelling "okay to go, okay to go".
