Return to the Moon: Exploration, Enterprise, and Energy in the Human Settlement of Space
Product Description
Return to the Moon: Exploration, Enterprise, and Energy in the Human Settlement of Space
- Jacket with moon scene
Former NASA Astronaut Harrison Schmitt advocates a private, investor-based approach to returning humans to the Moon―to extract Helium 3 for energy production, to use the Moon as a platform for science and manufacturing, and to establish permanent human colonies there in a kind of stepping stone community on the way to deeper space. With governments playing a supporting role―just as they have in the development of modern commercial aeronautics and agricultural production―Schmitt believes that a fundamentally private enterprise is the only type of organization capable of sustaining such an effort and, eventually, even making it pay off.
