Critically acclaimed\, bestselling authors Kelly and Zach Weinersmith set out to write the essential guide to a glorious futur e of space settlements\, but after years of research\, they aren&rsquo\;t so sure it&rsquo\;s a good idea. \;
\nIn a world hurtling toward human expansion into space\, \;A City on Mars \;investigates whet her the dream of new worlds won&rsquo\;t create nightmares\, both for sett lers and the people they leave behind. In the process\, the Weinersmiths a nswer every question about space you&rsquo\;ve ever wondered about\, and m any you&rsquo\;ve never considered:
\nCan you make babies in space? Should corporations govern space settlements? What about space war? Are we headed for a housing crisis on the Moon&rsquo\;s Peaks of Eternal Light&m dash\;and what happens if you&rsquo\;re left in the Craters of Eternal Dar kness? Why do astronauts love taco sauce? Speaking of meals\, what&rsquo\; s the legal status of space cannibalism?
