New space frontiers: venturing into earth orbit and beyond
Take a journey into the New Space Frontier ! It is easy to imagine that the space shuttle's retirement has edged the Space Age toward closure, at least in terms of human flight beyond the bounds of earth.
In fact, there are more people-carrying ships being constructed now than at any time since Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space half a century ago. Some are already servicing the International Space Station-which, incidentally, has ensured a permanent human presence in space for the last two decades, and is set to continue and expand for decades yet to come.
Through gorgeous photography and engaging writing, noted space and science author Piers Bizony speculates beyond just today's hardware and explores what might be possible for the next generation.
