Reading in the Space Space

by Casey Handmer

What are common misconceptions in writing about space? Why do they exist? What are cognitively robust ways of overcoming confusion when dealing with an environment so far beyond our intuition and experience? What is the latest on SpaceX's rockets and satellite constellations? What might a city on Mars or the Moon look like? Why is asteroid mining or space solar power a bad idea? Will space cities be like my favorite sci-fi? What are the best launch-adjacent start up opportunities? This book is an accumulation of essays focused on improving the state of public discourse about space.
