Building a Space Infrastructure: The Reclamation Experience

by Stephen L. Gillett, Univ of Nevada, Reno, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Engineering, Construction, and Operations in Space III

Abstract:

The third and last duty of the ... commonwealth is that of erecting and maintaining those public institutions and those public works, which, although they may be in the highest degree advantageous to a great society, are, however, of such a nature, that the profit could never repay the expense to any individual or small number of individuals, and which it therefore cannot be expected that any individual or small number of individuals should erect or maintain.
