书籍简介

地球并不好。在很远很远的地方重新开始生活--没有气候变化、没有战争、没有推特-贝克恩斯，在星空中定居，这一切似乎终于在我们的掌握之中。或者真的是这样吗？备受赞誉的畅销书作者凯利和扎克-韦纳史密斯（Kelly and Zach Weinersmith）打算撰写一本关于太空定居的辉煌未来的基本指南，但经过多年的研究，他们并不确定这是否是个好主意。太空技术和太空商业正在飞速发展，但我们缺乏所需的知识，无法在不引发国内冲突的情况下，拥有太空孩子、建造太空农场、创建太空国家。在人类急速向太空扩张的世界里，《火星上的城市》探讨了新世界的梦想是否会给定居者和他们留下的人们带来噩梦。在这个过程中，韦纳史密斯夫妇回答了你曾经想知道的关于太空的所有问题，以及许多你从未考虑过的问题：

你能在太空中生孩子吗？公司应该管理太空定居点吗？太空战争怎么办？宇航员为什么喜欢吃玉米卷酱？说到吃，太空食人的法律地位如何？

韦纳史密斯夫妇凭借深厚的专业知识和幽默感，探究了人类可能会问自己的大问题--是否要成为多行星国家以及如何成为多行星国家。

Earth is not good. The promise of starting life anew somewhere far, far away—no climate change, no war, no Twitter—beckons, and settling the stars finally seems within our grasp. Or is it? Critically acclaimed, bestselling authors Kelly and Zach Weinersmith set out to write the essential guide a glorious future of space settlements, but after years of research, they aren’t so sure it’s a good point. Space technologies and space business are progressing fast, but we lack the knowledge needed to have space kids, build space farms, and create space nations in a way that doesn’t spark conflict back home. In a world hurtling toward human expansion into space, A City on Mars investigates whether the dream of new worlds won’t create spectre, both for settlers and the people they leave behind. In the process, the Weinersmiths answer every question about space you’ve ever wondered about, and many you’ve never considered:

Can you make babies in space? Should corporations govern space settlements? What about space war? Why do astronauts love taco sauce? Speaking of meals, what’s the legal status of space cannibalism?

With deep expertise, a winning sense of humor，the Weinersmiths investigate perhaps the big questions humanity will ever ask itself—whether and how to become multiplanetary.
