商品描述

For over a half century, human activities in outer space have increased, but the high point was the Apollo Moon landings from 1969 - 1972. Now the United States has set forth a national space policy to return permanently to the lunar surface by 2020, and NASA is engaged in strategic planning to accomplish that goal. Furthermore, Europe, Russia, Japan, China, and India are undertaking missions to the Moon and its vicinity. All this will lead to using our sister planet as a space station and launch pad to Mars and other celestial bodies.

In SPACE ENTERPRISE - LIVING AND WORKING OFFWORLD, Dr Philip Harris provides the vision and rationale as to why humanity is leaving its cradle, Earth, to use space resources, as well as pursuing lunar industrialization and establishing offworld settlements. As a management/space psychologist, Dr. Harris presents a behavioral science perspective on space exploration and enterprise. In this his 45th book, Phil has completely revised and updated the two previous editions of this classic, placing new emphasis on the need for more synergy and participation by the private sector. He not only provides a critical review of what is happening in the global space community, but offers specific strategies for lunar economic development. The author analyzes the human factors in contemporary and future space developments, especially relative to the deployment of people aloft. This user-friendly volume offers numerous photographs, diagrams, exhibits, and case studies. Easily readable, as well as useful as a reference work, the book's content covers a wide range of practical considerations related to human activities offworld. To live and work successfully in a microgravity environment, the author examines human performance and organizational management, as well as physical, psychological, political, commercial, legal, and other dimensions.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在過去的半個世紀中,人類在外太空的活動不斷增加,但高峰期是1969年至1972年的阿波羅登月任務。現在,美國已制定國家太空政策,計劃在2020年前永久返回月球表面,並且NASA正在進行戰略規劃以實現這一目標。此外,歐洲、俄羅斯、日本、中國和印度也在進行月球及其周邊的任務。所有這些將導致我們的姐妹星球被用作太空站和前往火星及其他天體的發射平台。

在《SPACE ENTERPRISE - LIVING AND WORKING OFFWORLD》中,菲利普·哈里斯博士提供了人類為何離開搖籃地球、利用太空資源的願景和理由,並追求月球工業化和建立外星定居點。作為一名管理/太空心理學家,哈里斯博士從行為科學的角度探討太空探索和企業。在他的第45本書中,菲爾對這本經典的前兩個版本進行了全面修訂和更新,並強調了私營部門需要更多協同和參與。他不僅對全球太空社群中發生的事情進行了批判性回顧,還提供了月球經濟發展的具體策略。作者分析了當代和未來太空發展中的人因因素,特別是與人員在空中的部署相關的因素。這本易於閱讀的書籍提供了大量的照片、圖表、展品和案例研究。內容不僅易於閱讀,還可作為參考資料,涵蓋了與人類在外星活動相關的廣泛實際考量。為了在微重力環境中成功生活和工作,作者檢視了人類表現和組織管理,以及物理、心理、政治、商業、法律和其他維度。
