Can it be done? Yes - within the next hundred years - says booster systems expert Ray Halyard. Find out how in The Quest for Water Planets. Learn about what kind of planet can sustain life - a water planet - and the advances in astronomy that will help us locate those planets in the near future. Explore the propulsion systems which are in the development phase right now that will bring those planets within reach. Ponder the factors involved in long space flights, lasting perhaps several generations. Consider the technology a new colony in a new world will need to survive and grow. This book is the blueprint for interstellar space colonization in the 21st century!
