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 which is
bogged down by terrestrial concerns 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 toward
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."
