[net.space] A book on space.

rbc (11/18/82)

On the subject of the "High Frontier" (of which I know little).
There is a book that goes into the use of space for power, industry
and war.  It is called "Space Power" by G. Harry Stine, (Ace Books).
It covers the entire industry neeeded before the use of space will
become reality.  The coverage of the military uses (read anti-missile)
are very good.  The discussion of the financing was covered better then I
could follow.  The impact on society of space is coverd with
comparisons to the past (such as how the invention of the horse stirrup
changed the way war was fought).  Even though I bought the book by mistake
(it LOOKED like a SF-novel) I couldn't put it down.  I now believe in
power satelites...
