A good summary on the State-of-the-Art on Space Travel

If you enjoy reading Sagan's "Cosmos", this book is for you! However, the contents are limited to space travel and exploration. The book is a good continuation of earlier work by Goldsmith, who as Carl Sagan, is a good science translator for the general public. Goldsmith tries to keep a fair balance beteween his views and those of other authors, and you will also find updated information on recent descoveries, such as water on the Moon poles, life on Mars, etc. The book main weakness is that Goldsmith lists some very interesting questions regarding the exploration and colonization of several celestial objects, but a lot of them are answer with more questions. Also, at some points he goes into too much unnecesary detail.If you want to know about our real chances to travel, explore, and even colonize the Moon, Mars, the asteroids, or just visit Jupiter's Europa and Saturn's Titan, go ahead and buy the book. It will be a good investment.
