Entering Space: Creating a Spacefaring Civilization

Zubrin's book, The Case For Mars is focused and outstanding. This book takes a broader view, going past Mars and into our more uncertain future. To me, it loses a little of the earlier book's excitement. There are a few updates to the portion dealing with Mars exploration and settlement, provided by facts occuring after the earlier book.

As always, Zubrin emphasizes the practical and economically feasable approach.

I still would rcommend the book. It does discuss some ideas on propulsion that were a little further along than during the writing of the first book.

Zubrin mentions the various space exploration backing groups and gives a short description of the focus of each.

Zubrin offers his take on the various reasons for going into space, and shows that many of the often-cited ones are economically unfeasible. If you are interested in space, check this book out for sure.
