Paul Hardersen, a graduating senior this summer in geology and political science, is so interested in space travel, he already has published a book about it. Mass. It is in bookstores now. Hardersen said he hopes he has written a general interest book for people who don't know how space travel affects their lives. He also discusses potential projects, such as satellites that collect and send solar energy to Earth for consumption.
Space is as valid an environment to travel in, as land or water.
Hardersen has worked hard to promote his book, rounding up endorsements from Sen. Charles Grassley, former space shuttle astronaut Byron Lichtenberg and John Logsdon, director of the Space Policy Institute at George Washington University.
