The book presents an imaginative view of what space could be in the
next several decades if new technologies are developed and bold new
innovative applications are undertaken. It discusses the following
concepts: a future environment for space activities very different
from the predominant conditions of the past and present; a dozen
critical technologies with the potential for making
orders-of-magnitude reductions in spacecraft and launch vehicle
weight and cost and orders-of-magnitude increases in their
performance; and a large number of space applications that use these
technologies to address established as well as unconventional
missions and functions that have revolutionary potential.
