  • "A Grand Tour of the issues, options, promises, and challenges! Elizebeth touches every side of the multifaceted, and daunting, notion of a spacefaring economy. Technological advances and advantages that promise to cure the many ills here on Earth along with the inevitable and unfortunate export of our geopolitical differences off-planet. Elizebeth offers many historical tools and policies that could offer hope in space while noting that current behavior and trends dampens that hope. Underlying all of it is the realization that, while everything we have learned over millennia about international cooperation on Earth offers many lessons, we are attempting to upload it all in a single push to interplanetary space. A fascinating read!"
