For several decades it has been widely accepted that human space
exploration is the exclusive domain of government agencies. The
cost of performing such missions, estimated in multiple reports to
amount to hundreds of billions dollars over decades, was far beyond
what private entities could afford. That arrangement seems to be
changing. Buoyed by the success of its program to develop
commercial cargo capabilities to support the International Space
Station, NASA is becoming increasingly open to working with the
private sector in its human space exploration plans. The new
private-public partnership will make 'planet hopping' feasible.
This book analyses the move towards planet hopping, which sees
human outposts moving across the planetary dimensions, from the
Moon to Near-Earth Asteroids and Mars. It critically assesses the
intention to exploit space resources and how successful these
missions will be for humanity. This insightful and accessible book
will be of great interest to scholars and students of space policy
and politics, international studies, and science and technology
studies.
