The National Space Society (NSS) is pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with space historian and author Rod Pyle (photo at right) to write a new book entitled Space 2.0. NSS plans to use the finished volume as a primary tool for outreach and STEM/STEAM educational efforts, as well as supporting the organization in the broader marketplace.

This new book will explore current efforts in space, and then, looking through the eyes of industry and government leaders, embark on a compelling narrative about the future development, exploration and settlement of the final frontier. Intended interviewees include Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Buzz Aldrin, Andy Weir, Lori Garver, and Sir Richard Branson, among others.

Space 2.0 will be published in oversize format, lavishly illustrated with approximately 300 full-color images, and competitively priced to assure maximum accessibility. The book is currently scheduled to be published early next year by BenBella Books and distributed by IngramPerseus to an international audience.

For more information about how you can support this important new project, please contact Susan Holden Martin, MBA, J.D., at [email protected].
