4.0 out of 5 stars A Nice Collection of Paper about the Moon and Moon Bases, March 24, 2001

This review is from: Lunar Bases and Space Activities of the 21st Century (Paperback)

This softbound book contains a collection of papers from a conference held in Washington D.C. from October 29-31, 1984. These papers provide information about lunar geology, lunar science, construction techniques, transportation issues, base design, and various subsystem design (like, power generation, thermal control and life support) as well as many other topics. While the book contains many papers that provide a general overview of the lunar bases, many of the papers contain engineering formulae, which require knowledge of calculus and differential equations or even a specialization in a field of science or engineering.
