Readers of this book will gain an insight into one of the most creative minds in the history of space exploration.
Krafft Ehricke's contributions encompassed details of new and innovative ideas, but he also taught us how to think about the importance and value of space exploration to our society. This book provides an understanding of the early history of the space pioneers, what they helped to accomplish, and how Ehricke's vision of where we should be going can shape the future. At this difficult time, when there are questions about the future path of America's space program, Krafft Ehricke's vision-his
Extraterrestial Imperative-lays out the philosophical framework for why space exploration must be pursued. Readers will find it an imaginative work, and an up-lifting story that contains a vast array of reasons why the human race needs to get off planet Earth and explore space. Krafft Ehricke's Extraterrestrial Imperative is the summation of a lifetime of work encouraging the exploration and development of space.
