Beyond: Our Future in Space by Chris Impey

4.0

A well written, interesting look at the past and possible future of humans in space. Impey takes us from the earliest rocket experiments by the Chinese to the modern ideas of space tourism. He then uses current ideas to imagine where humans will go in space in the future and when. One interesting feature of the book is a sci-fi aside that starts each section, the story of one adventurer leaving Earth for an uncertain future. In this story is the ultimate point of this book... that humanity must look to the stars to enliven our spirits and our future.
