Reddit reviews The Case for Space: How the Revolution in Spaceflight Opens Up a Future of Limitless Possibility

Welcome to the Zubrin AMA! As you may already know, Dr. Robert Zubrin's book "The Case for Mars" was a significant early influence on SpaceX's Mars colonization plans, and his new book, “The Case for Space,” discusses how the entrepreneurial launch revolution spearheaded by SpaceX can open up a future of unlimited possibilities. His recent IAC2019 Mars Direct 2.0 presentation presentation also generated some good discussion here on r/spacex.

That's all, folks! Dr. Zubrin has signed off for today after answering questions for 3 solid hours, and he even plans to pop back in over the next few days to answer more! Thanks again to Dr. Z and everyone else involved from the Mars Society!

Also, thank you very much to the community for doing such an excellent job with the questions! There's been some great technical discussion in here.

This AMA is now over.

The mod team would like to thank Dr. Zubrin for his insights and inspiring words. And thank the Mars Society team for making this exchange possible along with everyone who participated asking well thought out stimulating questions.

To those showing up too late to ask questions, hopefully you'll find some of the many questions Dr. Zubrin has answered (for over 3 hours!) to be relevant. If not, there is a good chance he has already answered your question in The Case for Mars or The Case for Space. So if you haven't read them yet, check them out.

If you're interested in the Mars Society, be sure to check them out on Youtube, here on reddit or their site. Special shoutout to /u/EdwardHeisler and /u/Marsonaut for acting as our Reddit - Mars Society liaisons (even if it cost them event tickets!).

Zubrin has a new book coming out in May: https://www.amazon.com/Case-Space-Revolution-Spaceflight-Possibility/dp/1633885348/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1549522994&sr=8-3&keywords=the+case+for+space
