Since the Reagan administration, American space policy has increasingly sought to involve private sector operators for space. The culmination of this trend has been the Obama administration?s policy of private sector transportation of crew and cargo to the International Space Station on behalf of NASA. This book proposes that future administrations extend this policy to other areas of space, including energy, in orbit manufacturing, asteroid mining, and the exploration of the Moon and Mars. The book further demonstrates how these activities can stabilize the global political system and lead to a dramatic increase in global economic growth. Finally, the book addresses one of the most important and critical issues currently facing humanity?the need for a viable, baseload, and unlimited supply of totally clean energy. An extremely cogent analysis of the interrelationship between space activity and the terrestrial economy, this book showcases the political and economic potential of the medium of space and adds greatly to the existing literature in the field. This book will be of interest to students of political science and strategic studies as well as members of the military, government space agencies, and the international aerospace industry. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Political Science,$x2191-5466 ;$v30 606 $aPublic policy 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aAerospace engineering 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aPublic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911060 606 $aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/112000 606 $aAerospace Technology and Astronautics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050 615 0$aPublic policy. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aAerospace engineering. 615 0$aAstronautics. 615 14$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management. 615 24$aAerospace Technology and Astronautics. 676 $a333.940973 700 $aBrown$b Trevor$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0790028 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255312403321 996 $aDigital galactic complex$91763086 997 $aUNINA
