Out there : a scientific guide to alien life, antimatter, and human space travel (for the cosmically curious) / Michael Wall, PhD. by Wall, Michael (Biologist), author. New York : Grand Central Publishing, 2018. Subjects Life on other planets.   Extraterrestrial beings.   Outer space -- Exploration. ISBN:  9781538729373 : 1538729377 Description:  viii, 245 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm Edition:  First hardcover edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  "We've all asked ourselves the question. Looking up at the night sky, it's almost impossible NOT to wonder: Are we alone in the universe? In [this book], Space.com senior writer Dr. Michael Wall treats that question as merely a jumping-off point. He considers, for instance, the myriad of questions that would arise once we do discover life beyond Earth (an eventuality which, top NASA officials told Dr. Wall, is only drawing closer). From the unexpected--do aliens have sex?--to the practical--what would the first aliens we meet look like?--Dr. Wall covers it all. He explores our common perceptions of extraterrestrial creatures and hypothesizes our union with them in the future. Would they be little green men or mere microbes? Would they be found on a planet or moon in our own solar system or orbiting a star far, far away? Would they intend to harm us, and if so, how might they do it? And might they already have visited? Dr. Wall covers questions beyond alien life, venturing into astronomy, physics, and the practical realities of what long-term life might be like for us mere humans in outer space, including the economic implications and the possibility of Mars colonies. He shares the insights of some of the leading lights in space exploration today, from professors of astronomy and molecular biology at world-renowned universities to CEOs of companies dedicated to space exploration. He demonstrates how the next space age might be brighter than anything we've yet seen, and right on the horizon."--Dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 576.839 Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 576.839 Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 576.839 Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 576.839 Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
