Book Overview
This book describes how to make, capture, store, and use antimatter. It is the answer to the skeptics who say that using antimatter is too risky, too difficult, or too expensive. Explains, step-by-step, how to greatly improve the cost-effectiveness of antimatter production, how antimatter can be used in power stations, and how it can improve the propulsion of interplanetary rocket engines by one or two orders of magnitude.

A plan for anti-matter mass production
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The author proposes very realistic ways to achieve the mass production of anti-matter, and shows that the mass ratios involved with any other propellant cannot possibly be used for long distance space travel. The author proposes several types of anti-matter rocket engines that would undoubtedly produce very fast space travel, but others -- most notably Andrew Bender in his book entitled, "SlipString Drive" -- have proposed other concepts that may take us beyond the speed of light using anti-matter. I would recommend reading "Mirror Matter" first, followed by "SlipString Drive".

Matter Versus Anti-Matter
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
An intriguing concept that authors Forward and Davis have written in terms that a lay person can understand. Star Trek captured the imagination of millions of viewers and now they can find out what made Star Trek tick with space propulsion. I highly recommend this book.
