The Next 500 Years: Engineering Life to Reach New Worlds
Description :
Introducing a 10-phase, 500-year vision for the future of space
exploration, genetic engineering, and the human
species—onEarth and on other planets. As the only species
aware that life on Earth has an expiration date, we have a moral
duty to land on, to live on, and to extend life to other planets.
Inevitably, life on Earth will come to an end, whether by climate
disaster, or by cataclysmic war—orwhen the sun runs out of
fuel in a few billion years. To avoid extinction, will we have to find a
new home planet, perhaps even a new solar system, to inhabit? In
this provocative and fascinating book, Christopher Mason argues
that we have a moral duty to do just that. Because we are the only
species aware that life on Earth has an expiration date, we have a
responsibility to act as the shepherd of lifeforms—no only for
our species but for all species on which we depend and for those still
to come (by accidental or designed evolution). Mason argues that
the same capacity for ingenuity that has enabled us to build rockets
and land on other planets can be applied to redesigning biology so
that we can sustainably inhabit those planets. And he lays out a
500-year plan for undertaking the massively ambitious project of
reengineering human genetics for life in other worlds.
