But the rivals in this case are not superpowers but competing entrepreneurs. These daring pioneers are creating a revolution in spaceflight that promises to transform the near future. Astronautical engineer Robert Zubrin spells out the potential of these new developments in an engrossing narrative that is visionary yet grounded by a deep understanding of the practical challenges. Fueled by the combined expertise of the old aerospace industry and the talents of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, spaceflight is becoming cheaper. The new generation of space explorers has already achieved a major breakthrough by creating reusable rockets. Zubrin foresees more rapid innovation, including global travel from any point on Earth to another in an hour or less; orbital hotels; moon bases with incredible space observatories; human settlements on Mars, the asteroids, and the moons of the outer planets; and then, breaking all limits, pushing onward to the stars."--Publisher's website.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 629.442 Zu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 629.442 Zu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 629.442 Zu Checked In Add Copy to MyList
