The Case for Space

“The Case for Space demonstrates the author’s rare breadth of domain knowledge, which covers engineering, science, economics and policy as well as his depth of knowledge on every significant destination in the solar system from the Moon to the outer planets. In his new book, Zubrin’s digs right into the issues of lunar resource extraction, energy generation, manufacturing and transportation that will drive the quick settlement of Earth’s ‘eighth continent.’ Zubrin leaves no moon rock unturned in either closing or rejecting the business case for each idea.” —Greg Autry, Contributor, Forbes Magazine * Forbes *
