A thought-provoking and humorous collection on NASA and the
future of space travel.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is a rare breed of astrophysicist, one
who can speak as easily and brilliantly with popular
audiences as with professional scientists. Now that NASA has
put human space flight effectively on hold—with a five- or
possibly ten-year delay until the next launch of astronauts
from U.S. soil—Tyson’s views on the future of space travel
and America’s role in that future are especially timely and
urgent. This book represents the best of Tyson’s commentary,
including a candid new introductory essay on NASA and
partisan politics, giving us an eye-opening manifesto on the
importance of space exploration for America’s economy,
security, and morale. Thanks to Tyson’s fresh voice and
trademark humor, his insights are as delightful as they are
provocative, on topics that range from the missteps that
shaped our recent history of space travel to how aliens, if
they existed, might go about finding us.
