From Scientific American
This book is long overdue. Hardersen has marshaled an impressive array of brass-tacks facts documenting the enormous benefits that the space program has brought to the American public. Those skeptical that the expenditures this nation has made in pushing the space frontier are being rewarded by ample economic returns will find in this book necessary medicine. Those already advocating space exploration will find here some of the tools they need to pry open the eyes of even the most closed minded. Read this book and then mail it to your congressman. Hardersen's is a message they need to hear on Capital Hill.
From The New Yorker
The Case For Space is just that: a compelling, easy-to-read argument for space exploration. Mr. Hardersen takes a technical subject matter and presents it in a manner appealing to both the novice and the expert. Either way, when you finish the book, you have a clearer picture of the potential of space technology.
