Product Description
Product Description
This lavish volume is a comprehensively illustrated preview of our future in space as well as a review of past successes and failures. Hardy's illustrations show, for instance, how the surface of each planet and its moons were originally imagined by writers when they worked together over 30 years ago and reveals how our knowlege has been vastly improved by data from satellites, probes and telescopes. Hardy and Moore apply their knowledge and imagination to look into the future of space exploration and to create an artist's impression of a world not yet visible.
From the Back Cover
"David Hardy's space art is unique. He creates his own special kind of virtual reality. . . FUTURES is a fitting testament to David's long-standing collaboration with Sir Patrick Moore. . . In the pages of this wonderful book these two men take us out to the stars. And beyond." -- Dr Brian May, Queen guitarist and astronomer.

Futures:50 Years In Space,
By Glcave "John 'trekkie' Cave" (Huyton Mereyside U.K.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: FUTURES: 50 YEARS IN SPACE (Hardcover)
To put it quite simply, this is one of the most well written and beautifully illustrated books in the field of astronomy.The book is written as an update to an earlier book The Challenge Of The Stars and brings the ideas of future space travel bang up to date with current space travel theories. Sir Patrick Moore takes a look at all the Planets in turn and gives the reasons of why and why not we will visit them. He then takes a trip much further afield into the depths of deep space. Written in Sir Patrick Moores usual anecdotal style and beautifully illustrated by David Hardy, this book would make the ideal gift for beginners in astronomy to the more advanced observr.
