Reviews

'This extraordinary collection launches our thinking about ethics, law, and public policy at the dawn of commercial spaceflight. Using a variety of literary styles...the authors enable serious consideration of practical, ethically informed policy governing space advertising, asteroid mining, colonization, astronaut enhancement, and others. A must read for anyone who dreams of spacefaring.' Margaret R. McLean, Santa Clara University, USA
