Beyond the International Space Station: The Future of Human Spaceflight [Rycroft, 2002] (hardcover)


"What will be the future directions of human spaceflight? That was the key question addressed at this Symposium - in an atmosphere of realism mixed with idealism. Building on the foundations of the International Space Station, will it be space tourism, habitats in space, mining an asteroid on a collision course with Earth, bases on the Moon, or the colonization of Mars? What robotic missions will be essential before crewed missions can be launched? How will these be financed? And when might it all happen? Many ideas from the USA, Canada, Europe, Russia and Japan were put forward on the "whys" and the "hows" of our future exploration of the final frontier and what is likely to be needed to make dreams come true."amaz Contents The Big Picture 1. Learning from the Past, Planning for the Future 2. Enabling Technologies 3. Providing the Infrastructure 4. Exploration and Science 5. Space for Entrepreneurs and Tourists 6. Discussion Groups
