For the first time in four billion years of life on Earth, we are preparing to step out among the stars, not just as lone astronauts or billionaire tech bros, but as a civilization. Dr Adriana Marais has dedicated her life to preparing form extraplanetary settlement, and here, she considers not just the scientific concerns of a multiplanetary existence (like terraforming and life-support systems), but also the ethical responsibilities we must carry with us as we explore new frontiers. In this extraordinary era of rapid technological development, Marais explores the fundamental questions at the heart of human endeavour: How did we get here - and where are we going next?

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Humanity has always looked up at the night sky and wondered what lies beyond our world. Now, we are on the precipice of stepping out among the stars, not just as lone astronauts or billionaire tech bros, but as a civilization.Our story is one of curiosity and an innate desire to explore and understand not only the world around us, but the world within us, and the worlds above us, from extremophiles to extraterrestrials, technosignatures to terraforming, DNA to Dyson Spheres. In this sweeping treatise on exploration, innovation and human ingenuity, theoretical physicist Dr Adriana Marais seeks to answer the questions that stand at the heart of scientific endeavour: What are the building blocks of life and how does life emerge?Are we alone in the universe and if so, why? How did we get here - and where are we going next? A theoretical physicist's grand tour of how life emerged on earth and how human civilization will begin expanding beyond our home planet Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
