Rezensionen

"Clay Moltz set out to provide a primer for non-specialists on the importance of developing a peaceful and sustainable approach to space. He has succeeded; Moltzs book is the best available general introduction to the past, present, and alternative futures in all areas of space activity. It is written in clear, non-technical and non-jargony language, and sets forth in a balanced way the governance choices before us as humanity continues to develop the final frontier." - John Logsdon, Professor Emeritus, Elliott School of International Affairs, The George Washington University and founder, GWs Space Policy Institute
