Using such an accessible material leads to a spacecraft architecture that is radically simpler, safer and cheaper than conventional capsule based designs. If developed, the potential affordability of the design will substantially open all of the inner solar system to human exploration. A spacecraft that is comprised mostly of water will be much more like a living cell or a terrarium than a conventional rocket and capsule design. It will use water for many purposes before it is superheated in electric engines for propulsion, purposes which include radiation shielding, heat management, basic life support, crew consumption and comfort. The authors coined the term "spacecoaches" to describe them, as an allusion to the Prairie Schooners of the Old West, which were simple, rugged, and could live off the land. 000742133 588__ $$aVendor-supplied metadata. 000742133 650_0 $$aReusable space vehicles. 000742133 7001_ $$aTolley, Alexander,$$eauthor. 000742133 7102_ $$aInternational Space University. 000742133 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3319226762$$z9783319226767$$w(OCoLC)913556877 000742133 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in space development. 000742133 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000742133 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-22677-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000742133 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:742133$$pGLOBAL_SET 000742133 980__ $$aEBOOK 000742133 980__ $$aBIB 000742133 982__ $$aEbook 000742133 983__ $$aOnline 000742133 994__ $$a92$$bISE
