Humanity's Future Beyond Earth Begins Here

What if the next great leap for civilization isn't on Earth, but above it?

In Building the Space Infrastructure: Developing the Cis-Lunar Neighborhood, Alastair Storm Browne explores how humanity can move beyond the dream of space colonization into the reality of living, working, and thriving off-world.

From industrializing near-zero gravity environments to mining near-Earth asteroids and building O'Neill habitats, Browne offers a clear, practical roadmap for the next space age. Alongside the technical possibilities, he tackles the social, legal, and ethical challenges of building a civilization beyond Earth, questions that will define humanity's future.

Inside you'll discover:

How cis-lunar industry could reshape Earth's economy and politics. The promise and risks of asteroid mining and orbital manufacturing. The challenges of governance, law enforcement, and ethics in space. Why today's space policy decisions will echo for centuries to come.

For space advocates, STEM students, policymakers, and dreamers alike, this is a timely, visionary, and practical guide to the infrastructure that will carry humanity into tomorrow.
