The Value of the Moon
While the Moon was once thought to hold the key to space exploration, in recent decades, the U.S. has largely turned its sights toward Mars and other celestial bodies instead. In The Value of the Moon, lunar scientist Paul Spudis argues that the U.S. can and should return to the moon in order to remain a world leader in space utilization and development and a participant in and beneficiary of a new lunar economy. Spudis explores three reasons for returning to the Moon: it is close, it is interesting, and it is useful. The proximity of the Moon not only allows for frequent launches, but also control of any machinery we place there. It is interesting because recorded deep on its surface and in...
Blogging the Moon
NASA has been in the news lately for reasons beyond theexciting discoveries of various and vast quantities of wateron the Moon. Unfortunately, the long, drawn outrepositioning of our national space program has brought thespace community to loggerheads, leaving the future of theU.S. manned space program in jeopardy. The upheaval ......

The Once and Future Moon
Looks at what has been learned from the Apollo program, as well as space probes, and describes the Moon's geology.
The Geology of Multi-Ring Impact Basins
Multi-ring basins are large impact craters formed in the early history of planets. They critically affect the evolution of the planets and their satellites. The Moon offers an exceptional chance to study these phenomena and this book provides a comprehensive geological study using data from lunar landings and remote sensing of the Moon. The author covers the formation and development of basins and considers their chemistry and mineralogy. He studies their effects on the volcanic, tectonic and geological evolution of the planet, including the catastrophic consequence on the planetary climate and evolution of life. This study is lavishly illustrated with many spectacular, highly-detailed photographs and diagrams.
The New Solar System
New edition of the leading planetary science textbook packed with the latest images, data, and results from recent planetary missions.
The Clementine Atlas of the Moon
Unique atlas with 144 maps covering the entire Moon. Indispensable reference for planetary and space scientists, lunar enthusiasts and astronomers.
Lunar Sourcebook
The only work to date to collect data gathered during the American and Soviet missions in an accessible and complete reference of current scientific and technical information about the Moon.
Bringing the Future Within Reach
The book documents Glenn's many research specialties over those 75 years. Among them are early jet engines and rockets; flight safety and fuel efficiency tested in premier icing and wind tunnels; liquid hydrogen fuel which, despite skeptics like aerospace engineer Wernher von Braun, helped the U.S. win the race to the moon; and electric propulsion, considered key to future space flight. Space enthusiasts, aviation personnel, aerospace engineers, and inventors may be interested in this comprehensive and milestone volume.
