Sinopse

Space Elevators explores the ambitious concept of lifting payloads and people into orbit via a direct Earth-to-space connection, potentially revolutionizing space access. The book examines the history of this idea, from science fiction to serious engineering proposals, and delves into the core physics and orbital mechanics that underpin the technology. One intriguing possibility discussed is the use of advanced materials like carbon nanotubes to construct the tether, the critical link between Earth and a counterweight in geostationary orbit. The book also considers the environmental impact of constructing and operating these systems.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the concept and its technical design, then moves into the significant engineering challenges, like tether materials and climber design, and concludes with broader implications. A key focus is materials science and aerospace engineering needed to bring the concept to life. It highlights how robotic systems and advancements in materials are crucial. The book provides a comprehensive look at this transformative space technology, making it valuable for anyone interested in the future of space exploration.

Who Owns The Moon? - In Defence...

A. C. Grayling

Silicon for microchips; manganese for batteries; titanium for missiles. 
 
The moon contains a wealth of natural resources. So, as the Earth’s supplies have begun to dwindle, it is no surprise that the world’s superpowers and wealthiest corporations have turned their eyes to the stars. As this new Space Race begins, A.C. Grayling asks: who, if anyone, owns the moon? Or Mars? Or other bodies in near space? And what do those superpowers and corporations owe to Planet Earth and its inhabitants as a whole? 
 
From feudal common land, through the rules of the sea, to the vast, nationless expanse of Antarctica, Grayling explores the history of the places which no one, and therefore everyone, owns. Examining the many ways this so-called terra nullius has fallen victim to ‘the tragedy of the commons’ – the tendency for communal resources to be exploited by a few individuals for personal gain at the expense of everyone else – Who Owns the Moon? puts forward a compelling argument for a bold new global consensus, one which recognises and defends the rights of everyone who lives on this planet.

Infinite Reality - Avatars...

Jim Blascovich, Jeremy Bailenson

“Enough with speculation about our digital future. Infinite Reality is the straight dope on what is and isn’t happening to us right now, from two of the only scientists working on the boundaries between real life and its virtual extensions.” 
—Douglas Rushkoff, author of Program or Be Programmed 
Can our brains recognize where ""reality"" ends and ""virtual"" begins? Where will technology lead us in five, fifty, or five hundred years? An unrivaled guide to our digital future that has been cited by the Supreme Court, Infinite Reality is a mind-bending ""journey through the virtual universe"" (Wall Street Journal). Jim Blascovich and Jeremy Bailenson, two pioneering authorities, explore the profound potential of emerging technologies and reveal how our brains behave in digital worlds. 
 
Along the way, Bailenson and Blascovich examine the timeless philosophical questions of the self and ""reality"" that arise through the digital experience; explain how virtual reality's latest and future forms—including immersive video games and social-networking sites—will soon be seamlessly integrated into our lives; show the many surprising practical applications of virtual reality, from education and medicine to sex and warfare; and probe further-off possibilities like ""total personality downloads"" that would allow your great-great-grandchildren to have a conversation with ""you"" a century or more after your death. 
Equally fascinating, farsighted, and profound, Infinite Reality is an essential guide to our virtual future, where the experience of being human will be deeply transformed.
