Region Code: 1
Sales Rank: 172758
Features:
- One day we may have no choice but to leave Earth forced by an ice age, pollution or a meteorite to find a new home elsewhere in the galaxy. The difficulties are daunting humans evolved to live on Earth, not in space.
- How do we find the right planet? How would we get there? We meet scientists who are trying to ensure that we arrive at our destinations healthy and ready to start life on a new planet.
- We reveal the work being done to overcome the deadly effects of cosmic radiation that threatens to wreck a crews DNA.
- We look at the work being done to keep a crew in sound mind. And, if we embrace genetic manipulation to redesign ourselves for space, we may also have to change our ideas of what a human is.
