Summary

Take a trip to tomorrow! With so many countries and private companies now heading into space, exploration will go farther than we ever dreamed possible. This adventurous book looks at current tools for space exploration and where future innovations in technology might be able to take us. Amazing artwork illustrates the scientific possibilities of sending human crews beyond the Moon, drilling on Europa, sending a nano-probe to TRAPPIST-1, and probing the dark reaches beyond Neptune.
