Colonies In Space

Description for COLONIES IN SPACE:  TAKE AN EXPEDITION TO DREAM CITIES IN THE STARS! by T A Heppenheimer and an introduction by Ray Bradbury:Sp THIS IS NOT SCIENCE FICTION Not a sketchy outline of dim possibilities.  Not far-reaching speculation.  COLONIES IN SPACE illustrates, with over 100 drawings and diagrams, that livable space colonies can be constructed and maintained---now. Planetary scientist T A Heppenheimer covers every aspect of the space colony---from the first way station to the luxurious condominium of the future---its design, its gravity, its energy sources, the food supply for its inhabitants, and the special problems--and pleasures--humans will face in a man-created environment.  Sooner or later, they will exist.  We have all the tools and intelligence at hand.
