Description:
At some point in the next two centuries, humankind will accomplish the "Giant Leap". People will make the ultimate space voyage; they will leave our solar system and head out to the stars. Adrian Berry explains why these voyages of colonization will take place, how it will be possible to attain the tremendous speeds needed to make them, and why they will be profitable. He writes with lucidity and humor; his predictions are always rooted in science fact and Berry has the knack of making science approachable, often quoting prominent SF authors.
