MAN AND SPACE: The Next Decade

by Lapp, R. E.

New York, 1961: Harper and Brothers, 183 pages, $4.95

Presents an educated guess, based on peripheral experience in the field of astronautics, as to where space flight is leading mankind, and what new discoveries will be made as lunar and planetary flight become realities. Attention is given to current projects. Chapters deal with such topics as the US space programs, peaceful uses of satellites, military space vehicles, the possibilities of life beyond the Solar System, the origin of life on Earth, and the possibilities of communicating with other intelligent communities within the Milky Way galaxy.
