In this book, Giovanni Bignami, the outstanding Italian scientist
and astronomer, takes the reader on a journey through the "seven
spheres", from our own planet to neighboring stars. The author
offers a gripping account of the evolution of Homo Sapiens to the
stage where our species is developing capabilities, in the form of
new energy propulsion systems, that will enable us to conquer
space. The reader will learn how we first expanded our activities
to reach beyond our planet, to the Moon, and how nuclear energy,
nuclear fusion, and matter-antimatter annihilation will enable us
to extend our exploration. After Mars and Jupiter we shall finally
reach the nearest stars, which we now know are surrounded by
numerous planets, some of which are bound to be habitable. The book
includes enticing descriptions of such newly discovered planets and
also brings alive key historical characters in our story, such as
Jules Verne and Werner von Braun.
