Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Telegraph Best Science Book of the Year¿A witty yet in-depth exploration of the prospects for human habitation beyond Earth¿Spacefarers is accessible, authoritative, and in the end, inspiring.¿¿Richard Panek, author of The Trouble with GravityIt¿s been over fifty years since Apollo 11 landed on the moon. So why is there so little human presence in space Will we ever reach Mars And what will it take to become a multiplanet species While many books have speculated on the possibility of living beyond the Earth, few have delved into the practical challenges.A wry and compelling take on the who, how, and why of near-future colonies in space, Spacefarers introduces us to the engineers, scientists, planners, dreamers, and entrepreneurs who are striving right now to make life in space a reality.
