Shortly before his death, the famous astrophysicist Stephen Hawking predicted that we humans have at most 100 years left on Earth.
We are struggling with population explosion, environmental destruction, energy and raw material consumption, and are wondering whether we will one day be forced to move into space. Space flight has now made such great strides that this seems entirely possible.
Dieter B. Herrmann presents all the important thought leaders and visionaries and the latest developments on this topic. He weighs up the pros and cons and gives his readers the tools they need to form their own opinion on how humanity can survive and what each individual can contribute.
