Robert Zubrin 的《The Case for Space》。它把 SpaceX 近期的进展放在了大背景下解读，展现了我们如何真正准备好以一种经济上可持续的方式定居太空。对所有想参与其中的人来说，这都是一份行动号召……
The Case for Space by Robert Zubrin. Puts recent developments by SpaceX in context, and shows how we really are about to settle the cosmos in an economically sustainable way. A call to action to anyone who wants to participate…
……涉及航天产业的访谈。关于书籍：- 我非常喜欢 Eric Berger 写的《Lift-Off》，讲的是 SpaceX 早期历史。- 《Shoot for the Moon》是另一本关于阿波罗计划的佳作。- Robert Zubrin 的《The Case for Space》- John D. Clark 的《Ignition》，讲液体火箭推进剂的发展史。祝好运（排版已修改）
…interviews that touch on the space industry. Regarding books: - I really enjoyed Lift-Off by Eric Berger on the early days of SpaceX. - Shoot for the Moon is another good read on the Apollo program. - The Case for Space by Robert Zubrin - Ignition by John D. Clark for a history of liquid rocket propellants Godspeed (Edited formatting)
……而且很健康，关于利用当地资源来减少外部依赖的早期基地设计，实际上已经做了几十年的准备工作。如果你真的对这个感兴趣，Zubrin 的《The Case for Space》是一本很好的入门读物。
…and healthy, and literal decades of preparation has been done on designs for early bases that exploit local resources to reduce external dependency. If you’re actually interested in this, Zubrin’s The Case for Space is a good introduction.
大气层对微波基本是透明的，所以损耗应该不会严重多少。《The Case for Space Solar Panel》这本书提到，按成书时的技术水平，净效率为 40%，理论上限是 60%。考虑到地球同步轨道上的电池板收集的能量是地面的五倍，这买卖相当划算……
The atmosphere is fairly transparent to microwaves, so the loss shouldn't be much worse. The book The Case for Space Solar Panel cited net efficiency of 40% with the tech at the time it was written, with a theoretical maximum of 60%. It's a pretty good deal given that a panel in geostationary collects five times as…
……许多国家决定联手投资 ITER。但在这之后它基本上就停滞不前了。ITER 本该是核聚变领域的曼哈顿工程（ * ）。事实就是如此。Robert Zubrin 在《The Case for Space》中这样写道：“冷战时期，由于激烈的国际竞争，各国的核聚变计划进展顺利。自 1980 年代末以来它们就停滞不前了，因为合并的决定……
…many nations decided to join forces and invest in ITER. After which it pretty much stalled. ITER was supposed to be the Manhattan Project of fusion ( * ). So there's that. Here's Robert Zubrin in "The Case for Space": "The national fusion programs progressed well during the Cold War because of fierce international competition. They have stopped moving forward since the late 1980s because the decision to consolidate…
关于这张图表，Robert Zubrin 在他的新书《The Case for Space》（第 174 页）中是这么说的：“冷战时期，由于激烈的国际竞争，各国的核聚变计划进展顺利。到了 1980 年代末它们就停滞不前了，因为合并的决定……
