Technically not SF, at least not intentionally.
James, your comment "Technically not SF, at least not intentionally."
I was thinking the same thing this week while I was reading
a recently acquired book:
Entering Space: Creating a Spacefaring Civilization
Paperback rCo August 7, 2000 by Robert Zubrin
from
https://www.amazon.com/Entering-Space-Creating-Spacefaring-Civilization/dp/1585420360
"Sagan himself said of Zubrin's humans-to-Mars plan, "Bob Zubrin really, nearly alone, changed our thinking on this issue." With Entering Space,
he takes us further, into the prospect of human expansion to the outer
planets of our own solar system--and beyond."
In the 1970s,,,, and even 2000, it seemed so close.
