| Quote: | | The Man Who Sold The Moon tells the tale of Delos D. Harriman, a businessman possessed by a dream to take humanity off-Earth. As a young entrepreneur, he starts a private space company to colonize the moon and create the home he never had. He is driven to the brink while single-handedly ushering the entire human race to its next evolutionary step. |
It's interesting - in science fiction, for decades the most common way that we'd get into space substantially was through private enterprise... and then that became awfully old-fashioned when the governments of the USA and Russia got the space bug. And now, after that's basically come to very little (at least, compared to our science fictional dreams), the wheel turns again, and private enterprise seems our best hope of doing something more than putting a toe briefly on the moon and then running home. |
