That was directed to the "pro-space" audience, as you'd expect from the
venue.
The book casts a wider net for a general literate audience. Think "space for
grown-ups," or "...for anyone wondering WTF happened after Apollo, why, and
where (if anywhere) we go from here."
The title is _Down to Earth_, its ambiguity and ambivalence as deliberate as
those in the title of... of... you know, the one about V-2s and plastics and
custard pies. Not as richly worked out, though.
