Realizing Tomorrow: The Path to Private Spaceflight

Space tourists (a term selfdescribed citizen explorers tend to resent) could, for the right price, train as cosmonauts and visit the International Space Station. Like the other volumes in this series, it focuses on the human element of space exploration, eschewing detailed technical description in favor of biographical studies of the dreamers, scientists, engineers, financiers, investors, and travel agents, as well as the would-be and actual astronauts.
