Back To The Moon - The Next Giant Leap For Humankind

Just finished reading "Back To The Moon - The Next Giant Leap For Humankind" by Joseph Silk, published by Princeton University Press.
I'm not exactly sure where Joseph Silk was trying to accomplish with this book. "Back To The Moon" seems to be a mishmash of promoting the notion of building giant radio and observational telescopes on the moon and the insights those types of telescopes could provide into the early years of the universe and to the universe at large. Silk skips over much what the early days of the new age of lunar exploration will look like and how it will impact life on Earth.
Strong on future astronomy, but weak on actual lunar exploration.
Recommended for the insights it provides on lunar astronomy.
Three Stars.
