Summary:
"Earth is not well. The promise of starting life anew somewhere far, far away—no climate change, no war, no Twitter—beckons, and settling the stars finally seems within our grasp. Or is it? Critically acclaimed, bestselling authors Kelly and Zach Weinersmith set out to write the essential guide to a glorious future of
space
settlements, but after years of research, they aren’t so sure it’s a good idea.
Space
technologies and
space
business are progressing fast, but
we
lack the knowledge needed to have
space
kids, build
space
farms, and create
space
nations in a way that doesn’t spark conflict back home. In a world hurtling toward human expansion into
space
, A
City
on
Mars
investigates whether the dream of new worlds won’t create nightmares, both for settlers and the people they leave behind. In the process, the Weinersmiths answer every question about
space
you’ve ever wondered about, and many you’ve never considered:
Can
you make babies in
space
?
Should
corporations govern
space
settlements? What about
space
war? Are
we
headed for a housing crisis on the Moon’s Peaks of Eternal Light—and what happens if you’re left in the Craters of Eternal Darkness? Why do astronauts love taco sauce? Speaking of meals, what’s the legal status of
space
cannibalism?"--From publisher.
