The cost of performing such missions, estimated in multiple reports to amount to hundreds of billions dollars over decades, was far beyond what private entities could afford. That arrangement seems to be changing. Buoyed by the success of its program to develop commercial cargo capabilities to support the International Space Station, NASA is becoming increasingly open to working with the private sector in its human space exploration plans. The new private-public partnership will make 'planet hopping' feasible. This book analyses the move towards planet hopping, which sees human outposts moving across the planetary dimensions, from the Moon to Near-Earth Asteroids and Mars. It critically assesses the intention to exploit space resources and how successful these missions will be for humanity. This insightful and accessible book will be of great interest to scholars and students of space policy and politics, international studies, and science and technology studies. 000760938 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed August 11, 2016) 000760938 650_0 $$aManned space flight. 000760938 650_0 $$aSpace sciences. 000760938 651_0 $$aOuter space$$xExploration. 000760938 7001_ $$aSommariva, Andrea,$$eauthor. 000760938 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBignami, Giovanni Fabrizio.$$tFuture of human space exploration.$$dLondon : Palgrave Macmillan, [2016]$$z1137526572$$w(DLC) 2016936718$$w(OCoLC)939532133 000760938 852__ $$bebk 000760938 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1057/978-1-137-52658-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000760938 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:760938$$pGLOBAL_SET 000760938 980__ $$aEBOOK 000760938 980__ $$aBIB 000760938 982__ $$aEbook 000760938 983__ $$aOnline 000760938 994__ $$a92$$bISE
