2023 Space Reading List: The Case For Nukes

Has the science on NASA’s International Space Station been worth the money?

Thirty years later, one might ask if the science on the ISS has been worth the $100 billion and more that NASA and its international partners have paid for it? Let us leave aside the diplomatic benefits that have allowed several nations to cooperate in space more or less in harmony. The ISS has allowed its partners to garner a vast amount of experience in maintaining human beings in space. With the Commercial Crew program, the space station has enabled the development of private space vehicles such as the SpaceX Crew Dragon.

In defense of space colonies and mining the high frontier

Scientists, business entrepreneurs, tourists and others will live side by side in space colonies. If the term “colony” is too fraught, try “settlement,” “community” or even “village.” Whatever one calls it, space colonization will be to the unalloyed good of all humankind.

Jimmy Carter’s space policy and the saving of the space shuttle

Carter’s single term in office is not known for any space initiatives. President Kennedy launched America to the moon. President Nixon started the space shuttle program. President Reagan initiated the program that began the International Space Station. After two false starts under American presidents named George Bush, President Trump and now President Biden have sent America and much of the world on a voyage back to the moon and eventually on to Mars under the Artemis Program.
