A City on Mars

Kelly and Zach Weinersmith

Blurb from a JoCoNaut:

"Can we settle space, should we settle space, and have we really thought this through?" The authors did a remarkably thorough job of interviewing experts and digging into primary sources to figure out what challenges we'd need to solve before we can colonize space. They went into the project optimistic about how close we were getting. They didn't stay that way, but they take a fun and upbeat approach as they walk the reader through the many issues to consider. (Copiously illustrated with comic illustrations by Zach, who draws the webcomic SMBC. They should totally come on Boat.)

Content warnings include A chapter on sex in space? Discussion of ways space colonists could die?
