The production and consumption of alcohol has played a significant role in human society since the dawn of civilization. Will this still hold true when humanity is exploring and settling the outer reaches of space? This first book on the topic examines the history of alcohol in space, as well as dozens of companies and projects that are exploring the possibilities of alcohol production in orbit. Covering the long history of alcohol in human society, how alcohol has been addressed in science fiction, and space agriculture technologies, this book investigates a broad sweep of questions that bear on the manufacture of alcohol in space, as well as human space settlement in general.

Chris Carberry is the CEO of the non-profit organization Explore Mars, Inc. He has authored more than 100 articles and opinion pieces that have appeared in newspapers, magazines, and online publications around the world. He lives in Stafford, Virginia.
