Download or read book Emigrating Beyond Earth written by Cameron M Smith and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-06-09 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emigrating Beyond Earth puts space colonization into the context of human evolution. Rather than focusing on the technologies and strategies needed to colonize space, the authors examine the human and societal reasons for space colonization. They make space colonization seems like a natural step by demonstrating that if will continue the human species' 4 million-year-old legacy of adaptation to difficult new environments. The authors present many examples from the history of human expansion into new environments, including two amazing tales of human colonization - the prehistoric settlement of the upper Arctic around 5,000 years ago and the colonization of the Pacific islands around 3,000 years ago - which show that space exploration is no more about rockets and robots that Arctic exploration was about boating!

Download or read book Mooncop written by Tom Gauld and published by Drawn & Quarterly. This book was released on 2021-03-03 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Guardian cartoonist relates the daily deadpan adventures of the last policeman living on the moon "Living on the moon...Whatever were we thinking? ...It seems so silly now.” The lunar colony is slowly winding down, like a small town circumvented by a new super highway. As our hero, the Mooncop, makes his daily rounds, his beat grows ever smaller, the population dwindles. A young girl runs away, a dog breaks off his leash, an automaton wanders off from the Museum of the Moon. Each day that the Mooncop goes to work, life gets a little quieter and a little lonelier. As in Goliath, Tom Gauld’s retelling of the Bible story, the focus in Gauld's science fiction is personal—no big explosions or grand reveals, just the incremental dissolution of an abandoned project and a person’s slow awakening to his own uselessness. Depicted in the distinctive, matter-of-fact style of his beloved Guardian strips, Mooncop is equal parts funny and melancholy. Gauld captures essential truths about humanity, making this a story of the past, present, and future, all in one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year's 2064, and space colonization is dominated by large mining companies. There is no law in deep space. Pirates and mercenaries roam free. Set in Space Colony, the board game universe. Rand Bedford suddenly becomes the CEO of his father's intergalactic mining corperation, and must find his way in a sea of shifting sand. Stuck between political diplomacy, and the iron fist of warships; Rand must find his father's killer, and protect the Gemini Mining Company. Rand's college sweetheart further complicates, his life by "accidently" boarding a transport for Hydrus Prime, Earth's most distant outpost. And then there is Vanessa Catari, the beautiful genetically enhanced heir, of a rival corperation, whose temper is matched only by her fiery red hair, and blazing green eyes. Maybe Rand should expand his father's empire. Maybe he should colonize more planets and increase company revenue. Maybe he should buy more warships and drive out the competition by force. After all, that may be what they are planning to do to Gemini. Earth will not care about the battles in deep space. Earth is hungry for raw materials, and will buy all they can from distant planets. There are plenty of starships and mining platforms for sale at Star Tech, at Mars shipyards. All that is needed is money. Finding colonists is easy. The waiting list of strong men and women committed to homestead in deep space is in the millions. All these new pioneers need, is transportation on board a cargo ship, and a mining platform to operate. Space colonists do not care about the power struggles between intergalactic mining companies. They would be just as happy to work for the competition. Space colonists just want to homestead for themselves, for their family, and for the human race.
