Greg Klerlx argues that ever since the last human left the moon in 1972, the Space Age has been stuck in the wrong orbit, and NASA, the organization that once fueled the world's space-faring hopes, has been largely responsible for keeping it there. With the loss of the space shuttle Columbia, there has never been a more critical time for anyone interested in the future of space exploration to ask two questions: whatever happened to the Space Age? And how do we get it back? No library descriptions found. |

Those of us who have both witnessed the United States space efforts over several decades and who also have a solid grounding in astronimy have independently come to the same conclusion. Specifically we realize that manned exploration is worthwhile and that the goal for our generation is to reach Mars, and that a moon base and earth-orbiting space station are not part of exploration.
Klerkx puts this view together pretty well, and describes the efforts outside NASA that are trying to further true exploration toward Mars.
I recommend this book for those curious about space exploration, its history and the future paths space activity may take. ( )
