G. E. Kufal – Asteroid Hazard: Problems and Tasks of Cosmonautics
This book, authored by G. E. Kufal, compiles hundreds of sources and citations from reports on asteroid hazard written in the 2010s. It explores the existential threat of Earth’s close proximity to other bodies in the Solar System, whose collision could jeopardize human existence. However, the text argues that the core challenge is not just survival in space, but the maturation of Earth’s civilization through space exploration. The author gathers materials on diverse aspects of space development, demonstrating a high readiness to move from study to practical exploitation of space. Over a decade after the original reports, no revolutionary changes have occurred in the approach to this problem, making the book’s tasks as relevant as ever. Designed as a textbook, it targets young people inspired by the legacy of Tsiolkovsky, Korolev, von Braun, Musk, and thousands of others who understood that humanity cannot remain in its cradle forever.
