The science of chemistry is essential for space settlement. It is central to the business of metal smelting, oxygen extraction, glass and ceramic making, rocket propellant manufacturing and the production of plastics, synthetic fibers and medicines using the resources available in space. The use of space resources and the chemistry of making all sorts of materials needed for the settlement of space is discussed in this book. An overview of basic processes is provided; not with the intention of answering all questions, but to inspire others to learn more and research the challenge of space settlement with elements from the Moon, Mars, asteroids and beyond. The layman with an interest in science, businesspeople, students, would be space tourists and settlers, and space enthusiasts should find this book interesting as well as the technician, engineer or scientist.
