Description
Taking the reader from plans already at an advanced stage for the next 10 years, well into the next century, this work discusses the rationale for future activities, and shows how this future development could take place. The book shows the potential for lunar bases and colonies, and shows that it is an ideal site for scientific laboratories dedicated to geosciences, astronomy and life sciences, and most importantly its role as a proving ground and launch pad for future Solar System exploration.
