Allright people, here's a toughie:  About 14-16 years ago, when I was
about 6 or 7 years old, I read a group of short stories about travelling
around and about the solar system.  I remember two of the stories; one was
about a race around the sun (I think that was the title), and the other was
about a trip to one of the outer planets, in which there was this stretch of
dialogue about slinging the spaceship the explorers were in around Uranus by
using its gravity.  I think the stories must have been written before the 
computer craze, because I remember the captain of the spaceship handing out
gravity calculations to members of the crew.  The group of stories had the
same hero and that's about all I can remember.  I know it's very little, but
I'd appreciate any help I can get.  Thanks in advance.
