Know the environment of space, how inhospitable it is - and how it's opening for business. Build an Earth-orbiting habitat for your story's setting. Discover our solar system ... and the staggering immensity of interstellar space. Consider the prospect of near-light speed travel. Imagine the conflicts, legal and military, your fictional missions might spark. In this book, you'll see what is real today - and what may become real tomorrow.
