Reviews

This is a well-edited selection of essays covering a human side of space exploration that few of us may have spent much time considering. ... this volume is a worthwhile and enlightening read about a topic that could become very relevant in the next few decades. (Barry Kent, The Observatory, Vol. 137 (1260), October, 2017)
