An
Introduction toLunar Base Design, Development, and
Operations
Peter Eckart, Buzz Aldrin
2000

"Created primarily
for engineers, this lengthy reference includes 24
chapters by Eckart (astronautics, Technical University
of Munich)-- each of which is preceded by at least
one introductory essay by contributors such as Buzz
Aldrin, Arthur C. Clarke, Harrison H. Schmitt, and
John Young. Eckart seems to have thought of everything

design, power supply, crew health, communication and
navigation systems, radiation shielding, and even
selecting wheels for lunar surface vehicles. Truly
multidisciplinary." Book News, Inc.®, Portland,

The High Frontier - 3rd
ed.
Gerard K. O'Neill - 2000
[Includes CD-ROM]
Amazon: US
UK
When the space colony
proposals of the late Gerard
O'Neill, a Princeton professor of physics, first
appeared in the mid-1970s, they inspired many to see
space as a place where humans really can build new
worlds and societies. The High Frontier developed
the full picture of how such huge space stations could
be built and how solar power satellites would provide
their financial basis. This new edition includes additional
chapters from several space luminaries plus a CD-ROM
with a video presentation by Prof. O'Neill and other
multi-media resources
