"Why should we go to space? To learn more about the universe and our
place in it? To extract resources and conduct commerce? To demonstrate
national primacy and technological prowess? To live and thrive in
radically different kinds of human communities? Visions, Ventures,
Escape Velocities takes on the challenge of imagining new stories at the
intersection of public and private—narratives that use the economic and
social history of exploration, as well as current technical and
scientific research, to inform scenarios for the future of the “new
space” era."
Looks interesting! Via Kam-Yung Soh.
