This book draws parallels with the settlement of terrestrial frontiers to investigate how new space propulsion techniques may help future space settlers exploit extraterrestrial resources to establish independence from the Earth. "Living Off the Land in Space," a collaboration among two space scientists and an artist, is illuminated with many NASA-derived computer-generated images, including drawings, and presents the human (as well as the technological) side of space settlement. It will be an inspiring and indispensible source for those wishing to share in this great adventure. 0aSCIENCE (GENERAL). 0aASTRONOMY.14aPOPULAR SCIENCE.24aPOPULAR SCIENCE IN ASTRONOMY.24aSPACE EXPLORATION AND ASTRONAUTICS.24aASTRONOMY.1 aJohnson, Les.eauthor.1 aBangs, C.eauthor.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978038736054640uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-68316-4zVer el texto completo en las instalaciones del CICY  2ddccER  c33888d33888  00102ddc40708LEaCICYbCICYcELd2025-07-10l0o520r2025-07-10 08:40:06w2025-07-10yER
