MIT Press · 2021
In the Anthropocosmos - an era of space exploration in which we will expand humanity's horizons beyond our planet's bounds - humans have twin responsibilities, to Earth and to space, and we should neither abandon our own planet to environmental degradation nor litter the galaxy with space junk. This generously illustrated volume presents space technology for this new age: prototypes, artifacts, experiments, and habitats for an era of participatory space exploration.
From Summer 2022 recommended reading from MIT (MIT News).
