Becoming Martian : how living in space will change our bodies and minds / Scott Solomon ; foreword by Scott Kelly.

Solomon, Scott, (author.). Kelly, Scott, 1964- (writer of foreword.).

Summary:

"How living in space will affect future generations--and what the potential unintended consequences of space settlements are. We are on the cusp of a golden age of space travel in which, for the first time, it will be possible for large numbers of people to venture into space. Some intend to stay. But what happens--and will happen--to us in the extreme conditions of space? What should space tourists expect to happen to them during a journey to an orbiting space station, the Moon, or Mars? What would happen to children born on another planet? Would they evolve into a new species? In Becoming Martian, Scott Solomon explores the many ways in which humanity's migration into space will change our bodies and our minds."-- Provided by publisher.
