Advocating both a return to the moon and the use of its resources to establish and supply a cislunar space transportation system, “The Value of the Moon” recounts the reasons ignoring the moon and heading straight for Mars might not be the best choice for the continuation of the program of American space exploration. This logical argument goes on to suggest that traveling to Mars or exploring deep space would benefit if the moon were a springboard for those journeys.
Doctor Spudis speaks to why America went to the moon with the Apollo program, what scientists learned from those missions, and how the moon is critical to further exploration. He makes a case for harvesting lunar material and using its energy resources, steps that are both feasible and affordable. In addition, a lunar base would seem to be a logical jumping-off point for further space exploration. And, there’s always the possibility of man living on the moon one day.
Readers interested in space exploration, the moon, astronomy, and technology will find much to appreciate in this thoughtful and compelling narrative.
