A hundred years on from the first Moon landing, where will space exploration have taken us?
David Whitehouse is a former BBC Science Correspondent and BBC Science Editor. He is the author of the bestselling Apollo 11: The Inside Story, and has written for The Times, The Guardian, Focus, New Scientist and The Economist.
[A] skilful history of space exploration ... A realist, Whitehouse
emphasizes that, without a major breakthrough in rocket technology,
travel to Mars will test the limits of human endurance and
willingness to bear the expense. His forecast for 2069 is a
struggling 18-man international base on Mars. China will have its
own. A fine overview of the past and future of human space
exploration.
*Kirkus Reviews (starred review)*
It is rare to read something that so closely mixes science fiction
with reality, but Space 2069 does just that ... [It] packs a
sizeable punch ... an intelligent portrait of where we may be in
the next half-century.
