Future Space

In this book, the focus is on spaceships used to access and travel in space. In my research, I was pretty amazed at how many spaceships have been designed, the large number available in the current era, and that many more are already on the drawing boards. Some spaceships like the Space Shuttle seemed like a great idea back in the 1970s and 1980s. But due to the compromises in design were very expensive for each flight and kind of dangerous, too.

The human race is at a crossroads. In the coming years, we will make decisions regarding our human spaceflight program that will lead to one of two familiar futures: the open universe of Star Trek, where we allow ourselves the opportunity to spread our wings and attempt to flourish as an interplanetary species - or the closed, dystopian, and ultimately self-destructive world of Soylent Green. If we ever hope to live in the future that is the former scenario, our first stepping stone must be a manned mission to Mars.

If you have noted the recent news and celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing, then there should be little doubt that within the next ten years, we will return to the Moon. In twenty years, there will be one or more active stations permanently located on the Moon. Very likely, both the Western countries and the Chinese will be there. Also, very likely, the venture to the Moon will be the result of a cooperative arrangement among NASA, the European Space Agency, and companies such as SpaceX.
