Join us for a captivating book reading and discussion of A City on Mars: Can We Settle Space, Should We Settle Space, and Have We Really Thought This Through?, the bold and witty exploration of space colonization by acclaimed science communicator duo Zach and Kelly Weinersmith.
In this session, we’ll dive into the surprising, hilarious, and deeply researched truths behind humanity’s dreams of interplanetary living. Through their signature blend of rigorous science, clever humor, and razor-sharp skepticism, the Weinersmiths peel back the layers of popular space narratives to ask hard questions: Are we technologically ready to build habitable cities on Mars? What are the ethical, legal, and biological challenges of settling other planets? And most importantly—should we?
Whether you're a space enthusiast, a science fiction lover, or simply curious about the future of humanity beyond Earth, this reading promises to entertain, enlighten, and spark meaningful conversation.
Come for the science, stay for the satire—and prepare to rethink everything you thought you knew about the final frontier.
