About 14 days ago I posted links to the books one-by-one in H&S... but a simple Amazon search will do you fine. -Erik

Oh hell, Erik, I placed that list on my Amazon wish list with 2 hours of you making that post. I was looking for others to add before I go on that buying spree I'm about to go on in the next week or so.
Btw, thanks for list. Got any other reccommendations on that subject?
Best,

"Pioneering the Space Frontier", Bantam Books, 1986.
It is a report by a panel of space experts and astronauts appointed by Ronald Reagan to chart the future of space exploration. Interestingly enough it was released after the Challenger accident.
Even though it's a little old, it is still one of the best, most in depth books I've read about what could be done over the next 50 years. It goes into a lot of detail about advancing science, exploring, prospecting, and settling the solar system. It begins with 9 rationales for space exploration. The concepts in the book remain valid today, it's just that the shuttle won't be the vehicle used.

There are others but surprisingly most people are letting Zubrin take the lead here.
Space can be achieved for far cheaper than it is now, it is just that we are letting others deprioritize it.

Should I add the following title (if someone already suggested it I missed it, I apologize for that oversight) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/189652267X/ref=pd_cpt_gw_1/102-9947503-0084138
Thanks all.
