Moonrush Improving Life On Earth With The Moon's Resources

If by some magic process humanity was able to go to the stars tomorrow and find habitable worlds we would probably want to design a society based upon modern technology. This book examines how the exploration of space, specifically a commercial base on the Moon and Mars would transform our economies on the Earth as surely as the discovery of the New World transformed the old world of Europe. From Platinum Group Metals for fuel cells, manufacturing high tech metals and robots to the building of a fusion reactor, the Moon holds great promise for a high tech manufacturing future. Dennis Wingo is a 22-year veteran of the computer, academic, and space communities. He was an integral force in the use of commercial systems for use in space and flew the first MacIntosh on the Space Shuttle as experiment controller. .Wingo, Dennis is the author of 'Moonrush Improving Life On Earth With The Moon's Resources', published 2004 under ISBN 9781894959100 and ISBN 1894959108.
