This title includes book & DVD. NASA has been in the news
lately for reasons beyond the exciting discoveries of various and
vast quantities of water on the Moon. Unfortunately, the long,
drawn out repositioning of our national space program has brought
the space community to loggerheads, leaving the future of the U.S.
manned space program in jeopardy. The upheaval caused by fights
over rocket designs and suppliers, and the 'Eenie, meenie, minie,
moe' formula being used to select our new space direction, has
placed the U.S. space program in peril. For over two decades Paul
Spudis has had a front row seat to the U.S. national space program
and has written extensively about space policy and space science.
His opinions and insights recently found a home on the "Air and
Space Magazine" blog, "The Once and Future Moon". Beginning with
his reporting from India in October of 2008 (as the principal
investigator of NASA's Mini-SAR, watching his radar being launched
to the Moon aboard Chandrayaan-1), Paul's easy to read essays have
followed and reported on the growing upheaval in the space
community and the battle being waged for the ideological control of
and funding for space exploration, and the resulting chaos. In
keeping with his call for a strong U.S. human space program, Paul
Spudis outlines and explains the importance of creating a
sustainable space program through the use of the Moon's resources
to create new capabilities to live and work in space and move
humanity off planet. These essays and reader comments are compiled
in the book. The bonus DVD includes a slideshow of over 30 years of
Dr Spudis' pictures researching our Moon, as well as Dr Spudis'
in-depth presentation about the Moon's resources.
