Welcome to the Moon

Welcome to the Moon is a book for future pioneers and decision makers curious about how and why people may go to the Moon and use its resources to open a new frontier for human civilization. The book describes the history of lunar exploration and discovery with a focus on questions asked and how experiments and missions, robotic and human, were designed to answer them. The Apollo approach is used as a baseline to compare modern spacecraft and options for returning to the Moon and establishing human stations in the near future.
