    Video cassette
    Journey through the solar system
    : episodes 5, 6, 7 & 8
    NASA CORE , 1982
    Episode 5: Assignment...Shoot for the Moon. Illustrates how the moon was surveyed by machines prior to man's first lunar landing.
    Episode 6: The Moon and Man. Segments many of the manned expeditions to the moon.

    The moon
    : resources, future development and colonization
    Schrunk, David
    John Wiley & Sons , Praxis Publishing , 1999

    In the past five years, there has been growing interest in idea of an immediate return to the Moon, and its development as a platform for science, industrialization and exploration of our solar system and beyond. This book describes the reasons why we should now return to lunar development and settlement, and how this goal may be accomplished.
    In "The moon: resources, future development and colonization" , the authors consider the rationale and steps necessary for establishing permanent bases on the Moon. Their innovative and scientific-based analysis concludes that the Moon has sufficient resources for large-scale human development. Their case for development includes arguments for a solar-powered electric grid and railroad, creation of a utilities infrastructure, habitable facilities, scientific operations and the involvement of private enterprise with the public sector in the macroproject.
    By transferring and adapting existing technologies to the lunar environment, it will be possible to use lunar resources and solar power to build a global lunar power-communication-transportation-manufacturing infrastructure. This will support the migration of increasing numbers of people from Earth, and realization of the Moon's scientific potential. As an inhabited world, the Moon will become a centre for Solar System exploration, human settlement, and exploitation of the resources of near-Earth objects. The development on the Moon of an "off-Earth economy" will result in substantial benefits on our home planet.
 
    Book
    Exploring the moon
    : the Apollo expeditions
    Harland, David Michael
    Springer-Verlag , Praxis Publishing , 1999, xv, 411 p.

    "Exploring the Moon" focuses on the exploration carried out by the Apollo astronauts while on the lunar surface, and not on the technology of getting there.
    It is a story of the great adventure of exploring the Moon, and combines the words of the astronauts themselves with the photographs they took. "Exploring the Moon" is a lunar travelogue, a minute-by-minute account of what the astronauts did, said and felt, enhanced by their subsequent reflections. As you read this book, you will seem to walk with the astronauts as they explore...
    David Harland concentrates on the final three Moon landings - Apollos 15, 16, and 17 - each of which spent three days on the lunar surface and used the famous "lunar rover" vehicle to get around. The three missions accounted for three-quarters of all lunar surface activity to date.
    Although you can read the text for its description of a unique adventure, the work of the astronauts is related to studies of lunar geology and will enable those interested in planetary geology to understand how a "field trip" on the lunar surface was conducted. There is also a "before and after discussion" of the results of the Apollo programme.
