In this volume of essays, the top experts and major players behind
the United States's recently renewed push to the moon fuel a
growing debate over lunar exploration. The announcement in 2004
that the U.S. would be revamping its moon program inspired both
excitement about the possibilities and concern over cost and safety
issues. This book takes the controversy out of the realm of pure
science and into the mainstream of national debate. Lunar experts
Alan Binder, Andy Chaikin, Yoji Kondo, Courtney Stadd, Frank White,
and many others weigh in on the case for a return, point out the
best way to do it, and speculate on what could be done with this
newly obtained real estate. The essays are accompanied by
illustrations of what life on the moon might look like.
Contributions come from different perspectives and styles, offering
a broad take on the very real possibility that humans will again
walk-- and work, live, and play-- on the lunar landscape. From
telescopes and tourism, to training for Mars, to building a new
branch of humanity and saving the Earth, this compendium makes the
case for sending people back to the moon.
