| Summary | Providing the quantitative foundation for developing the energy and minerals outside of Earth's atmosphere that are necessary to support scientific missions, space and extra-terrestrial scientific stations and permanent colonies, this text illustrates that an effective economy is possible beyond Earth's surface when we consider the resources available in near-Earth space. Space is the next frontier, and as the world civilization expands beyond Earth's surfacethis book illustrates that there are abundant opportunities to support and maintain - and in fact allow to prosper - civilization's expansion into space. |
