  In this paper we consider adjoint restriction estimates for space curves with
respect to general measures and obtain optimal estimates when the curves
satisfy a finite type condition. The argument here is new in that it doesn't
rely on the \emph{offspring curve} method, which has been extensively used in
the previous works. Our work was inspired by the recent argument due to
Bourgain and Guth which was used to deduce linear restriction estimates from
multilinear estimates for hypersurfaces.
