Yet remarkably, in a world where most technology progresses constantly, space exploration appears to have gone backwards. Man has not returned to the moon since 1972; the space shuttle programme has finished and not been replaced; much-vaunted promises of space tourism have not become realistic.</p><p>In this remarkable book, David Ashford looks back at the story of space exploration, identifying the factors that were a driving force behind the eye-catching programmes of the cold war, and showing how now new driving forces are needed. Using his own extensive experience as a practitioner and researcher of space exploration, Ashford then outlines a new, realistic roadmap for achieving the new space age soon and at an affordable cost.</p><p>This accessible and readable book will appeal both to students and general readers, giving a fascinating introduction to space exploration - and what matters most about it.</p>...2968850Space Exploration: All That Matters203225https://www.gandhi.com.mx/space-exploration-all-that-matters-9781444183856/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2274442/16d13c51-05a3-4b2c-9150-6f1feaf9be77.jpg?v=638383750449200000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20139781444183856_W3siaWQiOiI4OWI1NjA2My0wYTdiLTRiZGEtYjk2OS05NmJlZDJmODliMjkiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjIyNSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjIyLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjIwMywiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDUtMzBUMjA6MDA6MDBaIiwidG8iOiIyMDI1LTA2LTMwVDIzOjU5OjU5WiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6ZmFsc2V9LHsiaWQiOiJmYzU4ZThiZS0xMDcwLTQzMTctYTRmNi1jYTJjNmQyMjhhMjciLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjIxMywiZGlzY291bnQiOjIyLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjE5MSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781444183856_<p>Amid a century devastated by war, space exploration was perhaps mankinds greatest achievement of the twentieth century.
