The Science and Absurdities of Living in Outer Space

10 Nov 2026 19:00:00 GMT

Online Event
Tuesday, November 10, 2026, 11am – 12pm

Join us for an out-of-this-world conversation with bestselling authors Kelly and Zach Weinersmith as they dive into their book, A City on Mars: Can We Settle Space, Should We Settle Space, and Have We Really Thought This Through?

Earth is not well. The promise of starting life anew somewhere far, far away—no climate change, no war, no doomscrolling—beckons, and settling the stars ﬁnally seems within our grasp. Or is it? Critically acclaimed, bestselling authors Kelly and Zach Weinersmith set out to write the essential guide to a glorious future of space settlements, but after years of research, they aren’t so sure it’s a good idea.

If you can't attend live, register anyway and you'll receive a recording of the talk!

The Library's online author talks are made possible thanks to the generous support of the Long Beach Public Library Foundation.
