The Next Frontier,
By Chris Griffiths (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mars: Past, Present, and Future (Progress in Astronautics and Aeronautics) (Hardcover)
When talking about the exploration of space, and in particular of the planet Mars, it is easy to fall into one of two categories : a) Over-technical b) Over-fantastic.Fortunately, this book avoids both of those paths. Don't misunderstand - this is for those with a technical/scientific bent, but can be understood by lay-people. It is a high quality astronautical engineering book, focusing on the _how_, but pause is also given to the more human side, the _why_ - why go, why explore. Contributors of chapters come from reputable and solid backgrounds, with ideas that are backed not only by imagination, but with engineering know-how. In short, this book provides a valuable reference for those interested in the technical aspects - if I win the fifty dollars for a review, I know what I'll ask for... |
