Developing The Cis-Lunar Neighborhood
by Alastair Storm Browne
From the Amazon Page
This book tells of advancing into space and building an infrastructure along the way to make it easier, and safer, for humanity to expand. In this case, it is from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to the Moon, known as Cis-Lunar Space.
Here we talk about industrializing space, by setting by space factories to make all kinds of space made products, from medicines to crystals to alloys that would benefit the people of Earth. This is because in the near zero gravity of space, these products would be purer and better for the benefit of all humanity. This is only the beginning. We will be mining near Earth asteroids (NEAs) and the surface of the Moon for minerals, common and rare on Earth and set up whole new industries to manufacture everything from computer chips to space ships, and harness the sun for unlimited energy in space and on Earth, solving our energy problems as well.
