The book presents an imaginative view of what space could be in the next several decades if new technologies are developed and bold new innovative applications are undertaken. It discusses a future environment for space activities very different from the predominant conditions of the past and present; a dozen critical technologies with the potential for making orders-of-magnitude reductions in spacecraft and launch vehicle weight and cost and orders-of-magnitude increases in their performance; and a large number of space applications that use these technologies to address established as well as unconventional missions and functions that have revolutionary potential.
Here's what the reviewers are saying:
"The most forward looking of future space technology." - James Chu, EMS Technologies
"A superb book with great insights for the future." - Eric Jackson, USAF
