鈥Earth is not well. The promise of starting life anew somewhere far, far away鈥攏o climate change, no war, no X鈥攂eckons, and settling the stars finally seems within our grasp. Or is it? My co-author/ husband and I are scifi geeks who set out to write a book about the glorious future of space settlements, but after years of research, we aren鈥檛 so sure it鈥檚 a good idea. 鈥 鈥 鈥et in, we're going to Mars.鈥
