Summary

Looking up at the night sky, it's almost impossible not to wonder: Are we alone in the universe? Wall treats that question as a jumping-off point, as he considers the myriad of questions that would arise once we do discover life beyond Earth. He explores our common perceptions of extraterrestrial creatures and hypothesizes our union with them in the future. As he covers questions beyond alien life, he takes readers 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
