"Futures" is a comprehensively-illustrated preview of our future in space and a review of past successes and failures. Hardy's llustrations show, for instance, how the surface of each planet and its moons was originally imagined by Patrick Moore and himself when they worked together all those years ago and reveals how our knowledge has been vastly improved by data from satellites, probes and telescopes. Hardy and Moore also apply their knowledge and imagination to look into the future for space exploration and to create artist's impressions of worlds not visible with current technology. Hardy's vivid artwork and Moore's erudite but accessible text will please Hardy fans, amateur astronomers and new readers alike.
