The book LEGO Space by Peter Reid and Tim Goddard : Space Exploration Looks Even More Awesome in Lego – Wired Science
The bulk of Reid and Goddard’s book is devoted to a science-fiction exploration of mankind’s potential future among the stars. The Lego mining astronauts of tomorrow find themselves building moon and Mars bases, working with intelligent robots, constructing wormholes to distant worlds, and even battling evil aliens and mad scientists that have infiltrated their ranks. All of this is illustrated in detailed photographs of Lego brick spaceships and stations. There’s even instructions on how to build your own version of some of the vehicles.
Two pages from LEGO Space.
Hank Green gives his take on interstellar flight:
From the caption:
You like space exploration, and we like space exploration. So why aren’t we investigating our closest to galactic neighbor, the triple star system Alpha Centauri? Is it time to give interstellar travel a shot? How would we do it? Hank explains our options, and lays out the challenges. Short version: You’re gonna have to be patient!
Here’s an interesting discussion about “Our Interstellar Future in the eyes of Science and Science-Fiction” with SF writer Alan Steele, writer and NASA physicist Geoff Landis, plus SETI Institute scientists Frank Marchis and Cynthia Phillips.
