The library has a new exhibit called Living Off the Land in Space: Green Roads to the Cosmos. Read below for more information.
C. Bangs, who served as a NASA Faculty Fellow in 2002-04, created the art in this exhibition. Living in the Land in Space, which Ms. Bangs coauthored with her husband, Prof. Gregory Matloff of the NYCCT Physics Department and NASA manager Les Johnson, was publisher by Springer-Copernicus in 2007. Living Off the Land in Space demonstrates how future space pioneers and explorers might utilize the resources of the solar system, just as terrestrial pioneers and explorers used the resources of the Earth in spreading human settlement aroudn the globe. Space is not about individual heroics or national pride. Ultimately, it deals with the survival of the human species and other terrestrial life forms.
This exhibit will be on display in the Library during the months of March and April, 2008.
