  • 1.  Space Solar Power - Super Inspiring Science Fiction

    These are the most inspiring books I've read since the Mars Trilogy. Highly recommended vision of a bright future. I happened to read the second book in the series first, then went back to the first. I've followed space solar power since the 1970's - O'Neill's space settlements and giant space solar panel arrays - and these books are a great vision of how a solar future could happen. Luna crypto block chain! Asteroid mining! A magnetic catapult on the moon! Must read, enjoy!
