Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A bold journey into a future where humanity and its children travel to a new star where they must overcome the unexpected challenges on the exoplanets that await themor die trying.Traveling to the stars will be difficult, but not, perhaps, the most difficult part. What about when we get to another star? What then? Will the planets be immediately habitable? Not likely. Will those who undertook the journey be able to easily turn around and come home if they dont find Earth 2.0? Almost certainly not. Therein the lies the challenge: Finding worlds that are potentially habitable and then taking the time, perhaps centuries, to make them compatible with Earth life. The settlers at the nearby red dwarf star, Ross 248, will encounter mysteries and unexpected challenges, but the human spirit will endure. Join this diverse group of science fiction writers and scientists as they take up the challenge of The Ross 248 Project. Stories and speculative nonfiction about life under a crimson sun, contributions by . . . Contributors: USAF Lt General (Ret) Steven Kwast Patrick Chiles Stephanie Osborn Brent Ziarnick Laura Montgomery Daniel M. Hoyt & E. Marshall Hoyt Matthew Williams D.J. Butler Robert E. Hampson Monalisa Foster J.L. Curtis K.S. Daniels Les Johnson & Ken RoyPraise for A Travelers Guide to the Stars by Les Johnson: We effortlessly travel round and round our sun, and we wonder: How hard would it be, really, to travel to another star? Les Johnson shows us the rocket science wed need; thats easy enough. But then he describes with wonderful detail the Starshot nanocrafts, chipsats, Starwisps, worldships, and metamaterial LightSails that we might use. Its a flight of imagination backed up with real out-of-this-world science. Bill Nye Les Johnson is that rare breed of writer who can make rocket science comprehensible even to the layperson. He has more than paid his dues in the field, and his enthusiasm for the cause of interstellar exploration shines through. But so does his sense of humor, his humanity, and his zest for life. This is highly recommended stuff. David Weber Is humanity ready to take on the immensities outside our solar system? This travelers guide lays out methods and means that may enable our first steps into the great unknown beyond the suns familiar campfire. David Brin Praise for Mission to Methone: The spirit of Arthur C. Clarke and his contemporaries is alive and well in Johnsons old-fashioned first-contact novel, set in 2068. . . . Theres a great deal here for fans of early hard SF. Publishers Weekly Praise for The Spacetime War: Johnson, a NASA physicist, brings verisimilitude and scientific accuracy to this adventure, and his passion for the details of space travel will undoubtedly please readers looking for old-school hard science fiction. His narrative enjoys a slow-building sense of development as he gradually unravels multiple mysteries . . . Johnsons fans will find plenty to enjoy.
