Editorial Reviews

Review

"For spaceflight fanatics like me, now—the dawn of the Second Age of Space Exploration—is the most exciting time to be alive since the moon missions of the late 1960s and early '70s . . . In Space 2.0, ace science writer Rod Pyle—an advisor to NASA and the National Space Society—provides an engaging and expertly-informed explanation of how we got this far, along with a factual yet inspiring intro to our around-the-corner new adventures in space. Strap yourself in tight. It's a fascinating ride!"

—Geoffrey Notkin, member of the board of governors for the National Space Society and Emmy Award-winning host of Meteorite Men and STEM Journals

"
Space 2.0 offers a grand overview of everything happening in space from JPL's robots to Elon Musk's biggest ideas, and that is saying a lot! Pyle makes the complex technologies and intractable policy debates behind all this accessible to any reader without dumbing them down. It's a great read for those who already excited about our new future in space and a must read for those who do not yet get it.."

—Director of the University of Southern California's Commercial Spaceflight Initiative and former NASA White House Liaison

"
Space 2.0 is just the right book at just the right time . . . This is a must-read for anyone interested in the future of space exploration and development in the 21st century, and gives excellent suggestions about how you can get involved in Space 2.0."

—Daniel J. Rasky, PhD, chief of the Space Portal Office and senior scientist/engineer at the NASA Ames Research Center

"As Elon Musk celebrates more than 50 successful launches and a plethora of successful landings of his Falcon rockets and as Jeff Bezos achieves the ninth successful launch and landing of his New Shepard rocket, the space game is about to change. Rapidly. Your indispensable guide to the new space race is Rod Pyle's
Space 2.0."

—Howard Bloom, author of The Lucifer Principle and Global Brain

Review

"The book is beautifully illustrated in color and is an excellent primer for general readers."

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

We are on the cusp of a second space age, an era that promises to outstrip the already impressive achievements of the first. My goal as an author is to bring you readable, compelling, engaging, and entertaining narratives of space exploration, technology, and the amazing people that make it happen.

Few of us have a chance to do what we really love and get paid for it. After years of working in many industries, including television, new media, academia and others, I have been blessed with the rare opportunity to write books. I hope you enjoy them.

Like many of my generation, I was enthralled by the flights of Mercury, Gemini, and especially Apollo. As those ghostly images came down from the moon, improving on each flight, I stayed home from high school to savor every moment the networks were willing to show us (at the expense of the daytime soaps, which eventually won the airtime battle). Viking landings and journey of the Pioneers and Voyagers to the outer planets followed shortly thereafter. Writing narrative space history books, as well as space journalism for NASA/JPL, Caltech, Space.com and many other outlets, has been my passion for over a decade.

New books for 2016/2017 include "Mars: Making Contact", a lavishly illustrated history of the exploration of the red planet (Carlton Books), "Blueprint for a Battlestar", containing explanations and examples of technologies commonly found in science-fiction (Sterling Books) , and "Amazing Stories of the Space Age", featuring twenty of my favorite tales from the golden age of space exploration (Prometheus Books).

This is a thrilling time for space exploration and I hope to share this excitement with many more readers. You can follow current books and projects at www.pylebooks.com. I look forward to hearing from you.

A Must Read for All Concerned with Our Future
Space 2.0 by Rod Pyle is an excellent overview of what humanity has done, is doing now, and has the potential to do in space. An excellent primer for the general public, it clearly explains the key concepts in plain English, forgoing the technospeak that perhaps turns off many people. The book is fantastically illustrated and features comprehensive notes and useful references. Everyone should read it. Imagine what could be done if every kid read this book.
