Dr Robert Zubrin explains how populous Martian city-states will emerge, producing their own air, water, food, power and more. How they must be beautiful to attract settlers, and what that might look like. How the primary exports are unlikely to be material goods but intellectual products, created by a technically adept population in a frontier environment where people will be forced to innovate - including GMOs, robotics, AI and power production. Zubrin even predicts the red planet''s customs, social relations and government - of the people, by the people, for the people, with inalienable individual rights - that will overcome traditional forms of oppression to draw talented Earth immigrants.
In 1776, Thomas Paine wrote ''We have it in our power to begin the world over again''. Zubrin inspires us to embrace another magnificent future today. With the right pieces in place, his red planet will become a pressure cooker for invention, benefiting humans on Earth, Mars and beyond. The New World on Mars proves that there is no point killing each other over provinces on Earth when, together, we can create planets.<>
Bericht
Dr Zubrin has written a magnificent book which will set the gold standard for all future books about Mars. He is a pioneer and a visionary, but his conjectures are always based on solid science. His book takes us one step closer to the day when we can live and thrive on another planet. Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist and author of The God Equation and Quantum Supremacy
