With plans to launch hotels into orbit and experiments in
suspending and reanimating life for ultra-long-distance travel,
private companies and entrepreneurs have outpaced NASA as the
leaders in the new space race. With accessible prose and relentless
curiosity, Chris Impey reports on China's plan to launch its own
space station by 2020, proves that humans could survive on Mars and
unveils cutting-edge innovations such as the space elevators poised
to replace rockets at a fraction of the cost. Setting mankind's
urge towards exploration in the context of all human history and
space travel thus far, he shows that the present-day scientists
mapping billions of Earth-like exo-planets are the descendants of
the first humans to venture out of Africa. We must forge ahead,
argues Beyond, because exploration is in our DNA.
