For the Benefit of Humankind -- About the Author -- Index.This book produces convincing evidence that exploiting the potential of space could help solve many environmental and social issues affecting our planet, such as pollution, overcrowding, resource depletion and conflicts, economic inequality, social unrest, economic instability and unemployment. It also touches on the legal problems that will be encountered with the implementation of the new technologies and new laws that will need to be enacted and new organizations that will need to be formed to deal with these changes. This proposition for a space economy is not science fiction, but well within the remit of current or under development technologies. Numerous technologies are described and put together to form a coherent and feasible road map that, if implemented, could lead humankind towards a brighter future.Springer-Praxis books in space explorationSpace industrializationPopular Science in Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q36000Aerospace Technology and Astronauticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030Law of the Sea, Air and Outer Spacehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19060Science and Technology Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22270Space industrialization.Popular Science in Technology.Aerospace Technology and Astronautics.Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics).Law of the Sea, Air and Outer Space.Science and Technology Studies.338.0919Sivolella Davide1981-authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut791293MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910373930103321Space Mining and Manufacturing2530733UNINA
