We are entering a new Golden Age of space exploration. With
irrepressible enthusiasm and a deep understanding of the cutting-edge
research in space travel, world-renowned physicist and futurist Dr.
Michio Kaku presents a compelling vision of how humanity may develop a
sustainable civilization in outer space. He reveals the developments in
robotics, nanotechnology, and biotechnology that may allow us to
terraform and build habitable cities on Mars and beyond. He then
journeys out of our solar system and discusses how new technologies such
as nanoships, laser sails, and fusion rockets may actually make
interstellar travel a possibility. We travel beyond our galaxy, and even
beyond our universe, as Kaku investigates some of the hottest topics in
science today, including warp drive, wormholes, hyperspace, parallel
universes, and the multiverse. Ultimately, he shows us how humans may
someday achieve a form of immortality and be able to leave our bodies
entirely, laser porting to new havens in space.
