520    A noted space expert explains the current revolution in 
       spaceflight, where it leads, and why we need it. A new 
       space race has begun. But the rivals in this case are not 
       superpowers but competing entrepreneurs. These daring 
       pioneers are creating a revolution in spaceflight that 
       promises to transform the near future. Astronautical 
       engineer Robert Zubrin spells out the potential of these 
       new developments in an engrossing narrative that is 
       visionary yet grounded by a deep understanding of the 
       practical challenges. Fueled by the combined expertise of 
       the old aerospace industry and the talents of Silicon 
       Valley entrepreneurs, spaceflight is becoming cheaper. The
       new generation of space explorers has already achieved a 
       major breakthrough by creating reusable rockets. Zubrin 
       foresees more rapid innovation, including global travel 
       from any point on Earth to another in an hour or less; 
       orbital hotels; moon bases with incredible space 
       observatories; human settlements on Mars, the asteroids, 
       and the moons of the outer planets; and then, breaking all
       limits, pushing onward to the stars. Zubrin shows how 
       projects that sound like science fiction can actually 
       become reality. But beyond the how, he makes an even more 
       compelling case for why we need to do this--to increase 
       our knowledge of the universe, to make unforeseen 
       discoveries on new frontiers, to harness the natural 
       resources of other planets, to safeguard Earth from stray 
       asteroids, to ensure the future of humanity by expanding 
       beyond its home base, and to protect us from being 
       catastrophically set against each other by the false 
       belief that there isn't enough for all.
