PDF-(EBOOK)-The End of Astronauts: Why Robots Are the Future of Exploration

A worldrenowned astronomer and an esteemed science writer make the provocative argument for space exploration without astronautsHuman journeys into space fill us with wonder But the thrill of space travel for astronauts comes at enormous expense and is fraught with peril As our robot explorers grow more competent governments and corporations must ask does our desire to send astronauts to the Moon and Mars justify the cost and danger Donald Goldsmith and Martin Rees believe that beyond lowEarth orbit space exploration should proceed without humansIn The End of Astronauts Goldsmith and Rees weigh the benefits and risks of human exploration across the solar system In space humans require air food and water along with protection from potentially deadly radiation and highenergy particles at a cost of more than ten times that of robotic exploration Meanwhile automated explorers have demonstrated the ability to investigate planetary surfaces efficiently and effectively operating autonomously or under direction from Earth Although Goldsmith and Rees are alert to the limits of artificial intelligence they know that our robots steadily improve while our bodies do not Today a robot cannot equal a geologists expertise but by the time we land a geologist on Mars this advantage will diminish significantlyDecades of research and experience together with interviews with scientific authorities and former astronauts offer convincing arguments that robots represent the future of space exploration The End of Astronauts also examines how spacefaring AI might be regulated as corporations race to privatize the stars We may eventually decide that humans belong in space despite the dangers and expense but their paths will follow routes set by robots. What is Robotics/A.I ?. Robotics. is the study of the design, construction and use of robots.. Artificial Intelligence . is the branch of computer science that deals with writing computer programs that can solve problems creatively; "workers in AI hope to imitate or duplicate intelligence in computers and robots.

What are the jobs of the future? How many will there be? And who will have them? As technology continues to accelerate and machines begin taking care of themselves, fewer people will be necessary. Artificial intelligence is already well on its way to making “good jobs” obsolete: many paralegals, journalists, office workers, and even computer programmers are poised to be replaced by robots and smart software. As progress continues, blue and white collar jobs alike will evaporate, squeezing working- and middle-class families ever further. At the same time, households are under assault from exploding costs, especially from the two major industries—education and health care—that, so far, have not been transformed by information technology. The result could well be massive unemployment and inequality as well as the implosion of the consumer economy itself. The past solutions to technological disruption, especially more training and education, aren\'t going to work. We must decide, now, whether the future will see broad-based prosperity or catastrophic levels of inequality and economic insecurity. Rise of the Robots is essential reading to understand what accelerating technology means for our economic prospects—not to mention those of our children—as well as for society as a whole. Seeking to reenergize Americans\' passion for the space program, the value of further exploration of the Moon, and the importance of human beings on the final frontier, Claude A. Piantadosi presents a rich history of American space exploration and its major achievements. He emphasizes the importance of reclaiming national command of our manned program and continuing our unmanned space missions, and he stresses the many adventures that still await us in the unfolding universe. Acknowledging space exploration\'s practical and financial obstacles, Piantadosi challenges us to revitalize American leadership in space exploration in order to reap its scientific bounty.Piantadosi explains why space exploration, a captivating story of ambition, invention, and discovery, is also increasingly difficult and why space experts always seem to disagree. He argues that the future of the space program requires merging the practicalities of exploration with the constraints of human biology. Space science deals with the unknown, and the margin (and budget) for error is small. Lethal near-vacuum conditions, deadly cosmic radiation, microgravity, vast distances, and highly scattered resources remain immense physical problems. To forge ahead, America needs to develop affordable space transportation and flexible exploration strategies based in sound science. Piantadosi closes with suggestions for accomplishing these goals, combining his healthy skepticism as a scientist with an unshakable belief in space\'s untapped--and wholly worthwhile--potential.
