Inhaltsangabe

Providing a foundation for space planners and anyone interested in human settlement in the solar system, this book theorizes about the near future, when the heretofore significant steps of humankindtraveling to the moon and building space stationswill be dwarved by new progress. Scholars and scientists raise and answer such questions asWhy does space matter to us? What will ordinary life be like in space? andWhat will our homes be like on Mars or the Moon? This collection of findings by professionals documents important research, laying the bricks for space-faring civilizations and even consults future space-dwellerskidsfor their visions. Working from the assumption that humankind has a biological need to explore and improve the quality of life, the wide variety of contributors successfully argue that space as a future human habitat is not simply possible, but manifest.
