Rating: Summary: WOW! Review: This has been the most interesting and well written book that I have ever read. It explains complex and very abstract concepts in a way that ordinary people can understand. I am very impressed with her and cannot wait for her to write another book like this.
Rating: Summary: STAR WARS COULD HAPPEN!!? Review: What I loved about the Star Wars saga is the fact that travel across the galaxy is as commonplace and taken for granted as car and air travel is today. And I love the alien world our heroes visit like the Fourth Moon of Yavin,the Moon of Endor, Tatooine,Hoth,Bespin,Dagobah and Coruscant. This book explores the possibility of rapid interstellar travel and alien planets and extraterrestrial life and the even how to build lightsabers and blasters with incredible detail. Cavelos explains that such breaktroughs may or may not happen in a few thousand years. Who knows what breaktroughs humanity will make? We may not be at war with aliens or other civilizations and I hope it won't happen. But I do hope that someday people will be able to travel to other solar systems and galaxies as quickly and easily as crossing our oceans. Cavelos gives interesting detail on wormholes,warp drives,and even what it would be like to travel at warp drive with the stars stretching into streaks of light. That will be a very exciting time. I hope that galactic travel and even intergalctic travel will be used for tourism as well as exploration and colonization. People will travel to exotic planets and moons like Yavin 4,Endor,Hoth,Coruscant etc. and even view our own galaxy from above as a glowing celestial spiral. That would be a very exciting time!!Perhaps it will happen in the next thousand years or so.
