Earth Space Science

After just 100 days since the 453 hand-picked space colonist's departure from Earth, the travelers received news that the United States was forced to declare war on China. It would be the last communication they would receive. Two hundred and fifty years later, another hand-selected group—born several generations after these men and women landed on Mars—left the red planet on a return mission to Earth. The Earth they would find when they arrived was not the Earth their ancestors left—far from it.

Colonel Taylor’s mission to rescue POWs had been a resounding success, but it had revealed horrors beyond his imagining. Worst of all, he could not rescue the one he cared most for - Alita. Bolormaa, the terrifying enemy queen that he could never hope to defeat, is coming. And Taylor knows he must face her once again. Yet, the genius Milo Rivers has provided a new hope. Hope in the form of technology far surpassing anything humanity could have dreamed to possess in the next few hundred years.

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.

Jane is the only person left on the planet, minding the only business left: a gift shop. She wasn’t born on Earth, but her ancestors were; they lived there before the AI in charge of geoengineering failed and the oceans got too hot to sustain the terrestrial food web and before humans took off to colonize other planets. She’s heading to college on Jupiter in the fall of 3020, so her days on the home planet—selling “American Epoch” postcards, “History: The Poster!” and “War: The Soundtrack” to tourists from the suburbs of Europa—are numbered.

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.

He never expected to be rescued.

Ember’s sister, Nadia, stumbles across other secrets kept—a flourishing, impossible ecosystem.

As end-of-the-world scenarios go, an apocalyptic collision with an asteroid or comet is the new kid on the block, gaining respectability only in the last decade of the 20th century with the realization that the dinosaurs were wiped out by just such an impact. Now the science community is making up for lost time, with worldwide efforts to track the thousands of potentially hazardous near-Earth objects and plans for high-tech hardware that could deflect an incoming object from a collision course.
