Paperback. Humanity is facing the greatest challenge in its history: "Traveling to the Stars." It is an old dream that has been instilled in the modern mind and is about to become a reality, since we have never had the means we have had in recent decades.All possible ideas in the past about this great adventure were based on overly imaginative conceptions given the limited knowledge available, and have been the origin of a multitude of novels and comics that have kept their readers enthralled.Thanks to the technological efforts of the great powers, which have been joined by private companies, we are in the starting position to travel to other worlds, starting with the planet Mars.We are the only living beings on Earth that have an intelligence capable of allowing us to prevent our extinction. Before that can happen, we need to explore the cosmos in search of planets that have the minimum conditions essential for our survival.Scientific knowledge has not stopped developing, greatly accelerated by advances in the media and computing. Thanks to our inventiveness, we have even proposed interplanetary ships capable of propelling themselves by bending space to generate a wave that would move them at a speed greater than the speed of light.But we also need to know and be prepared to face the looming dangers that could slow down or ruin the utopian human adventure in space.This work analyzes the most important issues to carry out the unique task that lies ahead, because humans have never had as much knowledge as we have today to discover our potential "Mission in the Cosmos." This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…

All possible ideas in the past about this great adventure were based on overly imaginative conceptions given the limited knowledge available, and have been the origin of a multitude of novels and comics that have kept their readers enthralled.
Thanks to the technological efforts of the great powers, which have been joined by private companies, we are in the starting position to travel to other worlds, starting with the planet Mars.
We are the only living beings on Earth that have an intelligence capable of allowing us to prevent our extinction. Before that can happen, we need to explore the cosmos in search of planets that have the minimum conditions essential for our survival.
Scientific knowledge has not stopped developing, greatly accelerated by advances in the media and computing. Thanks to our inventiveness, we have even proposed interplanetary ships capable of propelling themselves by bending space to generate a wave that would move them at a speed greater than the speed of light.
But we also need to know and be prepared to face the looming dangers that could slow down or ruin the utopian human adventure in space.
This work analyzes the most important issues to carry out the unique task that lies ahead, because humans have never had as much knowledge as we have today to discover our potential "Mission in the Cosmos."
