'It is rare to read something that so closely mixes science fiction
with reality, but Space 2069 does just that ... [It's] an
intelligent portrait of where we may be in the next half-century. -
BBC Sky at Night Nearing half a century since the last Apollo
mission, mankind has yet to return to the Moon, but that is about
to change. With NASA's Artemis program scheduled for this decade,
astronomer David Whitehouse takes a timely look at what the next 50
years of space exploration have in store. The thirteenth man and
the first woman to walk on the Moon will be the first to explore
the lunar south pole - the prime site for a future Moon base thanks
to its near-perpetual sunlight and the presence of nearby ice. The
first crewed mission to Mars will briefly orbit the red planet in
2039, preparing the way for a future landing mission. Surviving the
round trip will be the greatest challenge any astronaut has yet
faced. In the 2050s, a lander will descend to the frozen surface of
Jupiter's moon Europa and attempt to drill down to its subsurface
ocean in search of life. Based on real-world information,
up-to-date scientific findings and a healthy dose of realism, Space
2069 is a mind-expanding tour of humanity's future in space over
the next 50 years.
