The subtitle of the book is simply deceiving about its real content.
This book is about planetology and a little cosmology. It also describes a few of the past human explorations of the solar system - such as Voyagers' and Apollo's - but it totally fails on explaining any of the possible future of the human exploration in Space.
As the book is not that bad in what it recounts, it is really not the book I wanted or I expected by reading the subtitle. I am very disappointed by this, and I can't give a good rate to this text: the publisher should really reclassify this book as a different subject.
