The promise of starting life anew somewhere far\, far away—no climate change\, no war\, no doomscrolling—beckons\, and settl ing the stars finally seems within our grasp. Or is it? Critically acclai med\, bestselling authors Kelly and Zach Weinersmith set out to write the essential guide to a glorious future of space settlements\, but after year s of research\, they aren&rsquo\;t so sure it&rsquo\;s a good idea. \n\nIn a world hurtling toward human expansion into space\, A City on Mars inves tigates whether the dream of new worlds won&rsquo\;t create nightmares\, b oth for settlers and the people they leave behind. In the process\, the We inersmiths answer every question about space you&rsquo\;ve ever wondered a bout\, and many you&rsquo\;ve never considered:\n\nCan you make babies in space? Should corporations govern space settlements? What about space war? Are we headed for a housing crisis on the Moon&rsquo\;s Peaks of Eternal Light—and what happens if you&rsquo\;re left in the Craters of Eternal D arkness? Why do astronauts love taco sauce? Speaking of meals\, what&rsquo \;s the legal status of space cannibalism?\n\nWith deep expertise\, a winn ing sense of humor\, and art from the beloved creator of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal\, the Weinersmiths investigate perhaps the biggest questi ons humanity will ever ask itself—whether and how to become multiplaneta ry.\n\nRegister today to be a part of the discussion! https://libraryc.org /anythinklibraries/218204 \n\nAbout the Authors: \n\nZach Weinersmith is b est known as the cartoonist of the comic Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal .
