Book Synopsis
Crowded Orbits offers readers a valuable primer on space policy from an international perspective. This second edition is thoroughly updated to cover events of the decade following the book’s original publication in 2014.

Trade Review
Moltz’s book is the best available general introduction to the past, present, and alternative futures in all areas of space activity. It is written in clear, nontechnical, and nonjargony language and sets forth in a balanced way the governance choices before us as humanity continues to develop the final frontier. -- John Logsdon, Elliott School of International Affairs and founder of the Space Policy Institute, The George Washington University
