On January 5, Forward Defense senior military fellow Lt Col Christopher Mulder’s book review on Christopher Wanjek’s Spacefarers: How Humans Will Settle the Moon, Mars, and Beyond was published in Air University’s Strategic Studies Quarterly. Mulder found that the book offers bold predictions and a compelling narrative mixing both fiction and nonfiction.
[Wanjek’s book] drives confidence in the reader that living on the Moon, Mars, and beyond is not only doable in the near term but an imperative for humankind.
Forward Defense leads the Atlantic Council’s US and global defense programming, developing actionable recommendations for the United States and its allies and partners to compete, innovate, and navigate the rapidly evolving character of warfare. Through its work on US defense policy and force design, the military applications of advanced technology, space security, strategic deterrence, and defense industrial revitalization, it informs the strategies, policies, and capabilities that the United States will need to deter, and, if necessary, prevail in major-power conflict.
