A Great Gift for the Space Fan in your Life

Here's the review I left on Amazon:

Easily the most important book on this subject to come out in the last couple of decades.
November 30, 2018
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
The gist: The results of research on two different fronts points to the probability that orbital space settlements (far more advantageous than settlements on other planets or moons) can get started at a smaller scale than was realized back in the 70's and 80's. This makes such habitats much easier and more economical to build than originally thought. Such early habitats could even precede space mining/refining.

Such space mining and the large space habitats envisioned by O'Neill are still in the cards. But this book points to an important incremental step to that vision. The habitats described here will be realities long before the kind with wide-open blue skies out of which natural rain can fall. And that means such modest habitats will be realities on a much quicker timescale.

Happy holidays! Are you looking for the perfect gift for the space and technology enthusiast in your life? Or just looking for a gift for the person who already has everything? Might I suggest getting them my recently published book: The High Frontier: An Easier Way. Using entertaining anecdotes about fascinating people, this book describes how it's easier than ever to contemplate the construction of permanent human communities in space. Recent scientific and engineering discoveries, reductions in the cost to access to space, and growing political and social support for space exploration have all combined to make the idea of "space villages" worth a second look.

Hundreds of copies of The High Frontier: An Easier Way have already been sold and it's receiving rave reviews. It's now available for purchase on Amazon in ebook, softcover and hardcover formats. Buy your copy today and give your loved ones the gift of an optimistic, exciting vision of the future! Season's greetings, and kind regards,
