K-State Salina faculty members explore off-earth living in new book
Do you ever gaze into the night sky and wonder if you could live out there? Three K-State professors have written a book that might answer your question.
“Survival in Space” focuses on space exploration and how humans can survive in outer space. From microbe killers to supply chains in space — and even designing a Mars habitat — the book tackles how next-generation technologies and advances in human exploration will contribute to a renewed emphasis on voyages to the outer galaxies.
Warp speed ahead! But read this first.
Other topics in this interstellar how-to include:
- Laws for space
- Food production and dining in space
- Space radiation risks for humans
- Space psychology
The book was published by a team from K-State Salina: Randall Nichols, senior professor in aerospace cyber operations and space systems and operations graduate certificates; Mark James-Jackson, professor and graduate faculty; and Michael Oetken, assistant professor and graduate faculty.
