Reviews

John Logsdon, Elliott School of International Affairs and founder of the Space Policy Institute, The George Washington University:
Moltz’s book is the best available general introduction to the past, present, and alternative futures in all areas of space activity. It is written in clear, nontechnical, and nonjargony language and sets forth in a balanced way the governance choices before us as humanity continues to develop the final frontier.
