Why we shouldn’t colonize Mars or the Moon, or even vacation there

If certain business titans, corporations, and governments have their way, humans will someday be living, working, and vacationing in space. This is the much-vaunted New Space Age, and in Lunacy, philosopher Ben Bramble explains why it is a giant mistake. Bramble systematically refutes each of the ten most influential reasons given for this new generation of space exploration (and habitation), from the idea of Mars as a backup plan in case Earth meets an untimely end to the charms of friendship with extraterrestrials. Doing so, he reflects on deeper issues, exploring such questions as what the point of the human story is and what a good future for humanity would truly involve. (Spoiler alert: it includes solving problems on Earth.)

Bramble does not think we should get out of space entirely. On the contrary, he thinks that there is an important and exciting future in space science. Our activities in space, he tells us, should be animated by a curiosity about space itself rather than narrow economic or military interests.

Our activities in space, he tells us, should be animated by a curiosity about space itself rather than narrow economic or military interests.'At last, a voice for science and exploration that exposes the short-term thinking and robber baron mentality of this phase of the Space Age. Bramble brings a philosopher's rigor to the key questions of the human future in space, stripping it of the high-powered salesmanship and empty fantasies promoted by a new generation of would-be conquistadores. An important book for anyone thinking of going to the Moon or Mars or beyond.' Ann Druyan, Creative Director of NASA's Voyager Interstellar Message'This book is a welcome addition to the discourse about the human future in space. Ben Bramble provides a thoughtful critique of the dominant narrative about expanding human presence into space. The book is well-sourced, well-balanced, and a breezy read.'
