About This Item
Boston:: Houghton Mifflin,, 1981.. Hardcover first edition -. Very near fine in a like dustjacket (remainder line). First printing. A book which starts with the premise that the standard of living throughout the world needs to be raised and presents the idea that the solution to our interrelated problems of energy, environmental erosion, and the threat of nuclear war can be solved by taking the high road -that is, looking up and creating a system of satellites in a Low Earth Orbit, which would enable us to tap into more minerals than we could use and unlimited solar energy. Preface by Apollo 17 astronaut Harrison M. Schmitt. Index. x, 289 pp.
