About This Item

Düsseldorf, Econ-Verlag, 1957. 8vo. Portrait,+ 259,+ (blank),+ (4) pp.+ plates. Illustrated. The last (4) pp. with advertisements. Publ. decorated cloth with dust jacket. In a protective mylar sleeve. Second edition, first published in 1954. In this work, rocketry pioneer Oberth (1894-1989) looks forward into Man’s conquest of space, discussing rocket technology, astronaut’s equipment, space stations, space telescopes, electric spaceships, lunar exploration (including a description of a lunar vehicle) and the colonization of other planets. An interesting if perhaps somewhat megalomanic concept, presented for the first time in ”Menschen im Weltraum”, is the gigantic Weltraumspiegel (space mirror), that Oberth envisages being used to influence climate and weather on Earth, by reflecting and directing light from the Sun towards different parts of the planet’s surface - a form of climate engineering that points forward to the problems of our own age.
