Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. Bearse, M. Kristen (book design) (illustrator). 1st Edition. Fine condition silver gray boards, black spine with silver spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote by Arthur C. Clarke; Prologue: Lost in Space; Reference Notes; Acknowledgments and Index. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "In Lost in Space, Greg Klerkx tells the compelling story of a new space age in the making. Essential reading." --Buzz Aldrin, Apollo 11 Astronaut. "What went wrong with the Right Stuff? Why haven't we returned to the moon, or even attempted to set foot on Mars? Lost in Space explains how the race to the moon set precedents from which more entrepreneurial ventures have been unable to escape. In this well-balanced account, Greg Klerkx provides a firsthand look at some of the contenders for bringing launch costs back down to earth so that the next stage in space exploration can take off." -- George Dyson, author of Project Orion. "Greg Kelrkx has produced -- in his own fine phrase -- an 'optimistically subversive' book on a subject that these days tends to inspire nothing but gloom. This lively, well-reported, and unapologetic work will give new hope to anyone who's clung to the dream of human spaceflight during the three long decades since the last Apollo mission left the moon." -- Thomas Mallon, author. "This is a must-read for space enthusiasts who may be interested in being part of the future revolution in affordable space access. Greg Kelerkx has gathered a wealth of historical information, old and recent, and presents it in a readable story that is hard to put down." -- Burt Rutan, aircraft developer. "In Lost in Space, Greg Klerkx argues that ever since the last human left the moon in 1972, the Space Age has been stuck in the wrong orbit -- and NASA, the organization that once fueled the world's space-faring hopes, has been largely responsible for keeping it there. With the loss of the space shuttle Columbia, there has never been a more critical time for anyone interested in the future of space exploration to ask two questions: Whatever happened to the Space Age? And how do we get it back? In pursuit of answers to these question, Klerkx goes behind the scenes to reveal how NASA devolved from a pioneer of new horizons to a blundering bureaucracy concerned mainly with its own continued existence. Klerkx describes how NASA became dependent on projects geared mainly toward the needs of its budgetary allies -- leading contractors in the "big aerospace" community -- while drifting ever further from the public that had once cheered on its efforts to explore humankind's last frontier. Cheif among his criticisms, Klerkx makes clear the misguided and expensive folly of the space shuttle -- "the Edsel of space transportation" -- and chronicles NASA's clumsy development of the money-gobbling International Space Station. A damning, eye-opening indictment of NASA, Lost in Space is filled with fascinating perspectives on the ideas and technology behind modern space travel. But above all, Lost in Space is a story of people: some who devoted their lives to NASA and continue to believe in its promise, and others who became embittered by NASA's failures and have struck out on their own, thereby giving rise to the "alternative" space movement that may hold the key to the future of humans in space -- with or without NASA." -- from the inner front jacket flap. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Greg Klerkx is a former senior manager of the SETI Institute, and independent space exploration and research institution based in California's Silicon Valley. Trained as a journalist, he won numerous news-writing awards and now divides his time between London and San Francisco. Lost in Space is his first book.

Buch Erstausgabe
Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. [8], 392 pages. Illustrations. References Notes. Index. The author has written that "I began my career as a journalist in California, where I won awards for feature, commentary and investigative writing. I have written journalism and essays consistently since then and have also published two books, Lost in Space and The Emissary. In the past few years, I've taken my journalism and essayist work in a new direction through organizational âimpact' writing: positioning ideas, projects, research and people in the public eye through writing. To date, I've done impact writing for the London School of Economics and the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, and this is an area of work I'm keen to develop further. Derived from a Kirkus review: Anyone can ask the questions Klerkx raises: Why haven't we been back to the moon in more than 30 years? Whatever happened to the idea of a human expedition to Mars? The answer is that NASA is far more concerned about perpetuating its grip on the US space program than it is about exploring space. Klerkx points out, NASA once submitted a "realistic" plan to Congress for landing a base station on Mars in 1978, followed by human exploration in 1981. However, the agency put all its eggs into selling the concept of a "reusable" space shuttle. He thus dates the end of the original Space Age to the Challenger disaster and sees public reaction to the loss of Columbia as further retarding human space-exploration efforts. The author's only heroes are people like "space tourist" Dennis Tito, who shelled out personal millions to pay his own way for a few days aboard the International Space Station via a Russian Soyuz. Klerkx's indictment provides a bracing new perspective. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].
