I've been told that the title, among countless other things, alludes to the trajectory of a rocket and the novel itself. The "Beyond the Zero" epigraph to me invokes a graph of a negative parabola that has two roots or zeros (I have a bachelors in Applied Math but you don't need one to solve a polynomial). Anyway the von Braun quote brings up the fact that the parabola doesn't end at the zeros but goes on to infinity and it reminded me of Saturn via Keats "There is no death in all the universe"
