Help with a book author

Hello

I apologise if I am posting this to the wrong forum but I am not sure
where else to ask this question.

Many years ago I read a (fictious but incredibly well researched)
novel called simply 'space'. It charted the space race from the final
days of the 2nd world war to the moon landing and was an imensly thick
novel. Unfortunately I managed to loose it before finishing it and
have been unable to find another copy as I cant remember the author.

If anyone here thinks they may know of this book would you be so kind
as to tell me the author? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

....It was actually a rather thick piece of crap by James Michener, a
hack who for some reason kept getting a lot of money to write
cliche'-filled stories designed only to kill off a lot of trees. If
anything, it's probably the worst fictional book based on the Space
Program, and resulted in an even worse miniseries for See-BS.

Michener should have stuck to what he was at least halfway good at,
writing about primitive cultures in the Pacific getting decimated by
Western expansionism...
