Synopsis
The High Frontier Concept:
Using the Material and Energy Resources of Space to Improve the Human Condition on Earth
- Gerard K. O'Neill
In 1969 famed particle physicist Dr. Gerard Kitchen O'Neill asked his Princeton students to consider whether a planetary surface is really the best place for an expanding technological civilization.
The result was a revolution in how we should be thinking of "Space."
This is a story that started with science and math but, unlike most any other contemplation of Space, added analysis of population changes, climate and ecological issues, energy usage and fundamental energy sources, plus regular human needs and important human desires. Space, it was found by the numbers, can be an excellent source of individual prosperity and a potential source of beneficial wealth for nations.
Gerard K. O'Neill's The High Frontier is a "Space Book." It is without a doubt the foundational cornerstone of the "NewSpace Era.” Generations of space industry leaders have called this "THE Book."
But it is also not a space book. The High Frontier is without a doubt an "Earth Book" and it is, without a doubt, a "Humanity Book."
If you consider yourself a fan of space and you have not yet read The High Frontier then you need to do it. Now.
And if you are not a fan of space at all, if you think space is just for children to play pretend about, a waste of time and money that should both be only spent on quick fixes on Earth, then you need to read The High Frontier.
Earth is in Space, Earth is part of Space. Continuing to treat them as separate is not helping either one and this book will show you how putting them correctly together could be the most important and beneficial job that humanity will ever do. And how you can be a real part of it.
