Earth Space Science

Today, Elon Musk's SpaceX is building one human-rated reusable spacecraft every week designed to send 100 colonists to Mars on each voyage. With this brilliant plan, SpaceX aims to colonize the Red Planet. This is not science fiction. These ships are in construction every day at a startling pace in order to make humanity a multiplanetary species, beginning this decade. Departing Earth Forever is the first manual written to and for Martian colonists—and for humankind back on the home planet witnessing this single most historic and momentous event in human history.

This pathbreaking book explores how life can begin, taking us from cosmic clouds of stardust, to volcanoes on Earth, to the modern chemistry laboratory. Seeking to understand life's connection to the stars, David Deamer introduces astrobiology, a new scientific discipline that studies the origin and evolution of life on Earth and relates it to the birth and death of stars, planet formation, interfaces between minerals, water, and atmosphere, and the physics and chemistry of carbon compounds.

An extraterrestrial colony, in some form, may already exist, just awaiting discovery. But the greatest impediment to such an important scientific discovery may not be technological, but political. No scientific endeavor can be launched without a budget, and matters of money are within the arena of politicians. Dr. Ben Bova explores some of the key players and the arguments waged in a debate of both scientific and cultural priorities.

The Earth survived a massive attack from the invading alien fleet of the mighty Tol'konian Empire, railing on the hopes of a single spacecraft known as the Orlando. Millions of lives were spared, and the planet humanity called home was safe and secure. But chaos is the only guarantee in space, and danger lurks around every corner. For Captain Shepard, his frenetic life has finally churned to a snail's pace. Although he'd never admit it, his insatiable desire for adventure yearns for the unexpected.

Marcus may have thought his biggest problem was ensuring that they didn't alert the humans to their food creation and family expansion activities while they worked on taking over Earth, but a new threat is on the horizon. The Space Agency wants to recreate Marcus' spaceship fuel, which requires massive amounts of space dust. The problem with that is that Earth's atmosphere doesn't kill a nervous system-destroying bacteria present in the space dust. Can Marcus delay them until he can take over the planet, or will he have to change Earth's atmosphere and hope he doesn't kill everything?

40 years ago, Harlan Washington began his one-man war against the superheroes of Just Cause. One day ago, he grudgingly allied with those heroes to defend the Earth from an alien invasion. When he detonated a new kind of bomb to destroy the alien fleet, he was thrown through space and time. Now....He's lost in spacetime, dying, more alone than any human ever has been. He never expected to be rescued.

The Xortaag fleet outnumbers the humans’ five to one, and using their mind-control machine, they can use all the Earth’s military forces against their own kind. The Xortaag colony ships are only a few weeks away, and when they arrive, they'll wipe out the human race to have space and resources for their people. And as if all this wasn’t bad enough, General Planetary Genocide Maada has just laid a trap for the Earth fleet and decimated a large chunk of their forces. To make things worse, an even more sinister threat (yeah, more sinister than the Xortaags) is emerging 1500 years in the future.

Aboard the scout ship Cyclops, Hornet Squadron pauses on Saturn’s moon to take stock of their condition. Eager to rejoin Ascension, Commander Ray Fairchild risks a dangerous shuttle flight to the ship while Lieutenants Brooks and Rosenski remain on station.

Newly reinstated Captain Deborah Allen Riker (a.k.a. Admiral Dare) has been called many things over the years. Risk-averse is not one of them. When she and her badly crippled starship found themselves lost in the middle of an ocean of uncharted stars, with the fate of the galaxy on the line, facing enemies from the past, present, and future.... She did what any Riker would do....She attacked.

So far, Officer Candidate School is living up to its cutthroat reputation. Still, the merciless mental, physical, and psychological torture may be worth it for Lance Warder to have a chance to fight in space. The space that awaits isn't for the faint of heart. He'll have to shed his mental chains to prove his mettle. Because no one cares who your father is when you're faced with unknown threats in a dark, infinite void.
