Humanity's Future Beyond Earth Begins Here
What if the next great leap for civilization isn't on Earth, but above it?
In Building the Space Infrastructure: Developing the Cis-Lunar Neighborhood, Alastair Storm Browne explores how humanity can move beyond the dream of space colonization into the reality of living, working, and thriving off-world.
From industrializing near-zero gravity environments to mining near-Earth asteroids and building O'Neill habitats, Browne offers a clear, practical roadmap for the next space age. Alongside the technical possibilities, he tackles the social, legal, and ethical challenges of building a civilization beyond Earth, questions that will define humanity's future.
Inside you'll discover:
- How cis-lunar industry could reshape Earth's economy and politics.
- The promise and risks of asteroid mining and orbital manufacturing.
- The challenges of governance, law enforcement, and ethics in space.
- Why today's space policy decisions will echo for centuries to come.
For space advocates, STEM students, policymakers, and dreamers alike, this is a timely, visionary, and practical guide to the infrastructure that will carry humanity into tomorrow.
