This review is from: Out of This World (Library of Flight) (Hardcover)
I've just finished reading this book, and was impressed with the level of detail that was provided. The book was not written as speculative (ie; science fiction) but as possible designs for space, moon and planetary facilities. It's obvious that considerable thought was given to the various structures, environmental support systems, communications, crew comfort, power generation, waste handling and disposal and a myriad of other areas. The photos and renderings were helpful in supporting the text, and, while not overly large, didn't detract from the message. If I'd wanted speculative future designs, I'd have opened up a Syd Mead book!
I'm an Architect by training and have always had an interest in astronomy-this book expanded my knowledge in both areas. |
