Good morning!

It's book launch day for a city on mars - a research project that took kelly and I four years to research and write, and we believe it's the most thorough book ever written on space settlement.

Also it has an explainer on legal issues for space cannibalism, which I believe to be unique in the annals of literature.

Launch week sales really help us get the word out, so, if you're planning to buy, buying soon would mean a lot for us. Click this image for options.

Otherwise, please click back for your regular smbc update!

Ps: Here's some nice stuff people said about the book:

"Scientific, educational, and fun as hell."

- Andy Weir, New York Times bestselling author of The Martian and Project Hail Mary

"There is simply no more engrossing, entertaining, or thorough way to understand the intense challenge of humanity's off-Earth future than A City on Mars. I LAUGHED THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH."

- Hank Green, New York Times bestselling author of An Absolutely Remarkable Thing

"Listen up, humans. How to poop in space will be the least of our concerns. Herein are challenges most space-heads, including me, never even considered: not just technological, but legal, ethical, geopolitical. Despite the breadth and depth of research and some impressive near-wonk-level detail, this is a clear, lively, and hilarious read. Slam dunk, Weinersmiths!"

- Mary Roach, New York Times bestselling author of Fuzz and Packing for Mars

"A City on Mars is deeply researched, hilarious, and sobering. Zach and Kelly Weinersmith have given us a bracing to-do list for the new age of space. Highly, highly recommended."

- James S.A. Corey, author of The Expanse series

(also sorry to be annoying about the book! In the last few years social media has made it very hard to simply reach your audience directly. Blessed are the rss users)
