This book is a collection of Dr. Tyson's various articles, columns, commentaries, op-eds, some very pertinent tweets all of which give an interesting and very eyes-wide-open look at the American space program. He does this with his signature style which I believe is what makes him one of the most popular science presenters and public science figures today. Dr. Tyson is an excellent writer that doesn't belabour a topic and is able to get his point across clearly.
The thirty-six essays cover a wide ranging from such things as killer asteroids, the next fifty years in space, comments on extraterrestrial life, the physics of propulsion, the politics of space travel, how to prove you have been abducted by aliens, the Hubble Space Telescope, and much more.
A great read, highly recommended.
