[Melanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Erik and I read parts of this edited volume of essays on space travel. Wow, so interesting, what to do now that we can watch the Earth with satelites, how China and Russia joined the space race and what that means, various ethical considerations for the research and technology advancements. I returned to to the Titusville Public library, but will check it out again sometime.
