This anthology focusses on young travellers between the stars and as such there was quite a high hit rate of familiar authors, the biggest name of which must be Arthur C Clarke, though my favourite tale was 'The Gambling Hell and the Sinful Girl' by Katherine MacLean where we get an interesting view of asteroid mining and the temptations that might lie amongst those far flung rocks. Ray Bradbury gets an entry here with his magical 'The Gift' shows that you don't have to travel too far from Earth to be entranced by the magic of space. ( )
