Space 2069 by David Whitehouse
A hundred years on from the first Moon landing, where will space exploration have taken us?
It is rare to read something that so closely mixes science fiction with reality, but Space 2069 does just that.. [It] packs a sizeable punch ... an intelligent portrait of where we may be in the next half-century. * BBC Sky at Night *
Rich, topical and informative * Physics World *
[A] skilful history of space exploration ... A realist, Whitehouse emphasizes that, without a major breakthrough in rocket technology, travel to Mars will test the limits of human endurance and willingness to bear the expense. His forecast for 2069 is a struggling 18-man international base on Mars. China will have its own. A fine overview of the past and future of human space exploration. * Kirkus Reviews (starred review) *
