United States. National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Can life survive beyond the earth, and how would we know it if we found it? This NASA survey covers chemical evolution, organic matter in meteorites, the detection of extraterrestrial life, and spacecraft sterilization. A snapshot of the young science of astrobiology, from 1958 to 1964. Read how the space age first asked whether we are alone.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
