"The Moon: Resources, Future Development and Settlement describes the feasible settlement of the Moon in the coming century. The book stresses that the envisioned "Planet Moon Project" will link the technological and cultural expertise of humanity to the virtually limitless resources of space."--Jacket.

"In Lunar Exploration: Human Pioneers and Robotics Surveyors, Paolo Ulivi gives a lucid and accessible account of man's attempts to reach the Moon. As well as covering the well-documented manned and unmanned missions, he draws on recently declassified information to describe Chinese lunar exploration projects and how lunar nuclear weapons were developed by the superpowers in the 1950s. Since the mid 1970s, there have been few missions to the Moon...

Promotional material promoting NASA and its 'Artemis' program, which is the next push toward putting people on the moon in an effort to go to Mars.

Looks at what has been learned from the Apollo program, as well as space probes, and describes the Moon's geology.

Little is known of Soviet and Russian lunar exploration although, in fact, the Soviet Union/Russia: Sent the first spaceships past the moon, the first to hit the moon and the first to circle the moon Was first to soft land on and orbit the moon Was first to send a spaceship around the moon and recover it on Earth Came very close to sending a cosmonaut around the moon first Built and successfully tested, in Earth orbit, a lunar lander Pioneered sophisticated,...

With its two moonwalks, deployment of a geophysical station and geological sampling, Apollo 12 did what many had hoped would be achieved by the first man to land on the Moon. It demonstrated the precision landing capability required for the success of future lunar surface explorations. This is the first time in 40 years that the story of the Apollo 12 mission to the Moon has been told in its entirely, using official documents, flight transcripts,...

A look at America's first manned flights to the moon told by the 24 men who traveled to the moon and using the images from their experiences.

"How did science get aboard the Apollo rockets, and what did scientists do with the space allotted to them? Taking Science to the Moon describes, from the perspective of NASA headquarters, the struggle that took place to include science payloads and lunar exploration as part of the Apollo program. Author Donald A. Beattie - who served at NASA from 1963 to 1973 in several management positions and finally as program manager, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments...

"While the Moon was once thought to hold the key to space exploration, in recent decades, the U.S. has largely turned its sights toward Mars and other celestial bodies instead. In The Value of the Moon, lunar scientist Paul Spudis argues that the U.S. can and should return to the moon in order to remain a world leader in space utilization and development and a participant in and beneficiary of a new lunar economy. Spudis explores three reasons for...
