Sinopse

From a leading planetary scientist and an award-winning science writer: a propulsive account of the developments and initiatives that have transformed the dream of space colonization into something that may well be achievable.

We are at the cusp of a golden age in space science, as increasingly more entrepreneurs - Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos - are seduced by the commercial potential of human access to space. But Beyond Earth does not offer another wide-eyed technology fantasy: instead it is grounded not only in the human capacity for invention and the appeal of adventure but also in the bureaucratic, political, and scientific realities that present obstacles to space travel - realities that have hampered NASA's efforts ever since the Challenger fiasco. In Beyond Earth, the authors offer groundbreaking research and argue persuasively that not Mars but Titan - a moon of Saturn with a nitrogen atmosphere, a weather cycle, and an inexhaustible supply of cheap energy, where we will be able to fly like birds in the minimal gravitational field - offers the most realistic and thrilling prospect of life without support from Earth.

Resumo da Crítica

"An engaging mind game. It's hard not to get swept up in the authors' wide-ranging enthusiasm for space exploration and settlement. They find optimism in some surprising places - even in the gloomy prospects for our current planetary home." (Tom Kizzia, author of Pilgrim's Wilderness)
"Long ago I'd come to doubt that humans might ever leave this planet to homestead another. But this impeccably researched, imaginative, and gracefully written book seized me right from its introduction and kept me rapt to the end, rooting for our future. Beyond Earth is epic science writing, the rare kind that I can't get out of my mind - or my dreams." (Alan Weisman, author of Countdown)
" Beyond Earth is an important contribution. It's a thought-provoking introduction to our unlimited future in the outer solar system and beyond." (S. Pete Worden, executive director, Breakthrough StarShot; former NASA Ames Center director)
