A book titled 'A City on Mars' has a piece of advice for billionaires planning to send millions of people into space: Don't go too boldly.
It’s advice that Kelly and Zach Weinersmith didn’t expect they’d be giving when they began to work on their book, titled They thought they’d be writing a guide to the golden age of space settlement that Musk and Bezos were promising.
“In our effort to create Mars settlements to make a Plan B, to make ourselves safer as a species, are we actually lowering existential risk?” Zach says. “I think it’s absolutely unclear — and there’s a good argument that we might even increase it.” So what about space settlement? For four years, the Weinersmiths interviewed experts and sifted through research to see how close we’ve come to setting up space homes on the moon, Mars or elsewhere beyond Earth.
Will it ever be possible to create cities on Mars? The Weinersmiths propose a roadmap to get there, but it’s not an easy or cheap ride.
