520    "Formerly the domain of fiction, moving human civilization
       to the stars is increasingly becoming a scientific 
       possibility--and a necessity. Whether in the near future 
       due to climate change and the depletion of finite 
       resources, or in the distant future due to catastrophic 
       cosmological events, we must face the reality that humans 
       will one day need to leave planet Earth to survive as a 
       species. World-renowned physicist and futurist Michio Kaku
       explores in rich, intimate detail the process by which 
       humanity may gradually move away from the planet and 
       develop a sustainable civilization in outer space. He 
       reveals how cutting-edge developments in robotics, 
       nanotechnology, and biotechnology may allow us to 
       terraform and build habitable cities on Mars. He then 
       takes us beyond the solar system to nearby stars, which 
       may soon be reached by nanoships traveling on laser beams 
       at near the speed of light. Finally, he brings us beyond 
       our galaxy, and even beyond our universe, to the 
       possibility of immortality, showing us how humans may 
       someday be able to leave our bodies entirely and laser 
       port to new havens in space. With irrepressible enthusiasm
       and wonder, Dr. Kaku takes readers on a fascinating 
       journey to a future in which humanity may finally fulfill 
       its long-awaited destiny among the stars"--|cProvided by
