PDF-(BOOS)-The Case for Space: How the Revolution in Spaceflight Opens Up a Future of Limitless

A noted space expert explains the current revolution in spaceflight where it leads and why we need itA new space race has begun But the rivals in this case are not superpowers but competing entrepreneurs These daring pioneers are creating a revolution in spaceflight that promises to transform the near futureAstronautical engineer Robert Zubrin spells out the potential of these new developments in an engrossing narrative that is visionary yet grounded by a deep understanding of the practical challenges Fueled by the combined expertise of the old aerospace industry and the talents of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs spaceflight is becoming cheaper The new generation of space explorers has already achieved a major breakthrough by creating reusable rockets Zubrin foresees more rapid innovation including global travel from any point on Earth to another in an hour or less orbital hotels moon bases with incredible space observatories human settlements on Mars the asteroids and the moons of the outer planets and then breaking all limits pushing onward to the stars Zubrin shows how projects that sound like science fiction can actually become reality But beyond the how he makes an even more compelling case for why we need to do this to increase our knowledge of the universe to make unforeseen discoveries on new frontiers to harness the natural resources of other planets to safeguard Earth from stray asteroids to ensure the future of humanity by expanding beyond its home base and to protect us from being catastrophically set against each other by the false belief that there isnt enough for all.

It was a time of bold new technology, historic moments, and international jousting on the final frontier. But it was also a time of human drama, of moments less public but no less dramatic in the lives of those who made the golden age of space flight happen. These are the moments and the lives that Into That Silent Sea captures, a book that tells the intimate stories of the men and women, American and Russian, who made the space race their own and gave the era its compelling character. These pages chronicle a varied and riveting cavalcade of human stories, including a look at Yuri Gagarin’s harrowing childhood in war-ravaged Russia and Alan Shepard’s firm purchase on the American dream. It also examines the controversial career of cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space, and the remarkable struggle and ultimate disappointment of her American counterparts. It tries to uncover the truth behind the allegations that shadowed Gus Grissom and Scott Carpenter and then allows the reader to share the heart-stopping suspense of Alexei Leonov’s near-fatal first space walk. Through dozens of interviews and access to Russian and American official documents and family records, the authors bring to life the experiences that shaped the lives of the first astronauts and cosmonauts and forever changed their world and ours.  We\'re on the cusp of new era in the great adventure of space exploration.More than a half-century ago, humanity first hurled objects into space, and almost 50 years ago, astronauts first walked on the moon. Since then, we have explored Earth\'s orbit with shuttles, capsules, and space stations sent robots to Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus sampled a comet sent telescopes into orbit and charted most of our own planet.What does the future hold?In Space 2.0, space historian Rod Pyle, in collaboration with the National Space Society, will give you an inside look at the next few decades of spaceflight and long-term plans for exploration, utilization, and settlement.No longer the exclusive domain of government entities such as NASA and other national agencies, space exploration is rapidly becoming privatized, with entrepreneurial startups building huge rocket boosters, satellites, rocket engines, asteroid probes, prospecting craft, and even commercial lunar cargo landers to open this new frontier. Research into ever more sophisticated propulsion and life support systems will soon enable the journey to Mars and destinations deeper in our solar system. As these technologies continue to move forward, there are virtually no limits to human spaceflight and robotic exploration.While the world has waited since the Apollo lunar program for the next giant leap, these critical innovations, most of which are within our grasp with today\'s technology, will change the way we live, both in space and on Earth. A new space age--and with it, a new age of peace and prosperity on Earth, and settlement beyond our planet--can be ours.Speaking with key leaders of the latest space programs and innovations, Pyle shares the excitement and promise of this new era of exploration and economic development. From NASA and the Russian space agency Roscosmos, to emerging leaders in the private sector such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, Moon Express, Virgin Galactic, and many others, Space 2.0 examines the new partnerships that are revolutionizing spaceflight and changing the way we reach for the stars. A noted space expert explains the current revolution in spaceflight, where it leads, and why we need it.A new space race has begun. But the rivals in this case are not superpowers but competing entrepreneurs. These daring pioneers are creating a revolution in spaceflight that promises to transform the near future.Astronautical engineer Robert Zubrin spells out the potential of these new developments in an engrossing narrative that is visionary yet grounded by a deep understanding of the practical challenges. Fueled by the combined expertise of the old aerospace industry and the talents of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, spaceflight is becoming cheaper. The new generation of space explorers has already achieved a major breakthrough by creating reusable rockets. Zubrin foresees more rapid innovation, including global travel from any point on Earth to another in an hour or less orbital hotels moon bases with incredible space observatories human settlements on Mars, the asteroids, and the moons of the outer planets and then, breaking all limits, pushing onward to the stars. Zubrin shows how projects that sound like science fiction can actually become reality. But beyond the how, he makes an even more compelling case for why we need to do this - to increase our knowledge of the universe, to make unforeseen discoveries on new frontiers, to harness the natural resources of other planets, to safeguard Earth from stray asteroids, to ensure the future of humanity by expanding beyond its home base, and to protect us from being catastrophically set against each other by the false belief that there isn\'t enough for all.
