    This book covers the topic of the Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway (LOP-G), a renaming and restructuring of the Deep Space Gateway, a joint Russian-US effort, and associated missions. This is a step beyond the International Space Station, which will be beyond its useful lifetime in a few years, and will be decommissioned, with some parts being reused, and some re-entered. This will result in a new era of human space exploration, further from Earth. Whether we refer to the emerging facility as a Gateway, a Colony, a settlement, or a habitat, we are talking of a permanently occupied facility. We can consider the habitat to be in orbit (about something), or on the surface of another body, other than Earth. These projects will differ in detail, but will all consist of self-sufficient structures somewhere other than Earth, with an associated logistics train. The Gateway would be continuously crewed, and serves as an outpost form which to explore the lunar and Martian surfaces.

    Artistic Templates assist all skill levels in honing their artistic skills and create true masterpieces. These are not mere coloring book pages but detailed scenes that allow your creativity to flourish. As you add life to the scene, the outlines recede, leaving only your creation to showoff and enjoy. The templates are designed to be used with any artistic medium so you can utilize your favorite brushes, paints, pastels, crayons, colored pencils, or other art supplies to see where your imagination takes you. Since we first looked to the heavens, humanity has been mesmerized by space and the stars. We have created shapes from the stars, created stories and tales from the shapes. In those stories we have sought comfort, understanding, and insight into the future. The secrets and mysteries of space have fueled technological advances and scientific insight for centuries. The relationship between humanity and the celestial sky is ever changing and limited only by the imagination. Join us as we sketch the templates and, you, interstellar traveler, provide the artistic color on this Journey to...SPACE.

    This book talks about the coming exploitation of the moon for materials and manufacturing. This has a lot of precedents in things like the California and Alaskan gold rushes. There is a need for infrastructure on the lunar surface, and that is in the design phase. Major challenges remain in who owns what, and conflicts can be expected. All in all, an exciting time is coming. What we learn on the moon, we can mostly apply on Mars. And, why stop there?With Commercial firms involved and interested in mining the moon and asteroids, Earth will have to develop more complex "Space Law" to address who owns what and who benefits. In the past, the new frontiers, America, the Yukon, the "West" were mostly wild and ungoverned, at least at first. Hopefully, we will think this thing through, so no corporation or Nation-state will be able to enrich themselves, at the cost of others. This involves interpretation od the Outer Space Treaty, signed by most nations. Of particular interest are sites on the lunar surface with resources that could be mined, areas of total or no sunlight. Looks like we will need a legal cadre to sort out the details. But, there is some precedent in Antarctica. What is the most valuable thing on the moon? Well, if you want something light weight that is worth bringing back to Earth, that wuld be Helium-3, of use in a new generation of fusion reactors that would be less costly, and much less dangerous. Probably the next thing would be water, and we would use that in-situ both for greenhouses, but also cracked down, with solar power, to its constituent hydrogen and oxygen. That's rocket fuel, good for the return trip, or for going out further. That's rocket fuel that doesn't have to be carried up from Earth by...more rocket fuel. Also, the oxygen supply for lunar bases could come from local sources, until we get the Greenhouses going. There's always a need for spare oxygen.

    This book covers the topic of rocket planes that are launched to orbit, and return to a runway landing. The most common examples are the Space Shuttle and the X-15. The work on rocket planes began in Germany before World War-II, and resulted in operation squadrons, too little, too late. In the United States and Russia, research into the trans-sonic and hypersonic regions continued, with a series of rocket plans and their pilots. The most known examples are the Bell X-1 and the X-15. Spaceplanes can provide crew and logistics support to the International Space Station.
