But as Space X founder Elon Musk pledges to colonize Mars, and as NASA renews its push for interplanetary travel, a husband and wife duo has explored whether people really can live in space. What would it require to have babies on another planet? To grow food? To prevent conflicts in space from sparking geopolitical chaos on Earth?

Они подробно рассматривают биологические, психологические, юридические, экономические и социальные проблемы, связанные с космическими поселениями. Книга утверждает, что освоение космоса — это проект на столетия, требующий тщательной подготовки и международного сотрудничества, чтобы избежать катастроф и этических дилемм, а не быстрый путь к спасению человечества или обогащению. ------------- Автор: Келли Вайнерсмит, Зак Вайнерсмит ------------- Келли Вайнерсмит — биолог и адъюнкт-профессор Университета Райса, чьи исследования публиковались в таких изданиях, как «Atlantic», «National Geographic», «BBC World», «Science» и «Nature».

On the former, philosophers and probabilists remain deeply concerned about humanity’s Achilles heel: that our entire existence depends on the sustenance of a single blue dot in the Milky Way. Humanity’s fate is fundamentally tied to this single rock, which gives little redundancy from an asteroid strike, nuclear winter, or pandemic.
