Stand back, gentleman. Despite not knowing a word of Portuguese, I am going to use my mighty powers of analysis to decipher the meaning of this book.
The artwork shows what appears to be a naked woman, save for boots and a G-string, straddling what MIGHT be a rocket, to which she is chained at the wrists. So obviously, this is a book about the travails of strippers in outer space. The title "Rumo Ao Infinito" probably means "Rumba in Infinity." So it's about a festive dance performed in outer space, almost certainly by strippers, possibly while chained to rocket ships. Sort of like the wing walkers of the early 1900s, only with less air and gravity, and more cosmic rays.
Looking at the nature of the cover art, which consistes almost entirely of an almost naked woman in chains, I am going to guess that the author is not James Blish, but is John Norman writing AS "James Blish," which may be legal in Brazil.
Finally, "Colecao Galaxia 2000" is probably the name of a Brazilian children's show, probably sponsored by Coleco, a toy manufacturerand creator of the Colecovision gaming console, best known for its mass-produced Cabbage Patch Dolls. Probably had a tie-in to create a stripper Cabbage Patch Dolls. (Those Brazilian kid's shows can be kinda raunchy!)
Let's see how we did.
>Seemingly tangential to what is happening on Earth is the construction of a gigantic ice bridge on Jupiter built by men and women who use remote control vehicles from outposts on Jupiter's moons. Since they live under harsh conditions they've been "conditioned" by the government to cope. The slow realization of the purpose of the ice bridge is the main thrust of the plot. The main character is Paige, a spaceman, sent to find extraterrestrial soul samples for a medical company. Delivering his samples he gets involved romatically with the receptionist (and daughter of the chief scientist of the firm) who reveals too much about the company's activities. Eventually the two main narratives intertwine.
Well, um ... close ...
