John Walker reviews a new Kindle edition of Gerard O’Neill’s classic book. It’s free right now, if you’re an Amazon Prime member. Sales support the Space Studies Institute, I think.

Bootstrapping The High Frontier sounds like a great name for a book where the author describes a reusable launch vehicle, and space transportation architecture, for building solar power satellites and gaining access to extraterrestrial resources, on a scale that is actually within our grasp.
Unfortunately, near-term realism seems to have died with O’Neill.
Nothing stopping you from writing that book, Trent. And you’re right, that is a good title.
Yes, sales do benefit SSI.
I’d like to see a “second edition” that includes more recent work on colony designs.
