In this book  Giovanni Bignami  the outstanding Italian scientist and astronomer  takes the
reader on a journey through the seven spheres  from our own planet to neighboring stars. The
author offers a gripping account of the evolution of Homo Sapiens to the stage where our
species is developing capabilities  in the form of new energy propulsion systems  that will
enable us to conquer space. The reader will learn how we first expanded our activities to reach
beyond our planet  to the Moon  and how nuclear energy  nuclear fusion  and matter-antimatter
annihilation will enable us to extend our exploration. After Mars and Jupiter we shall finally
reach the nearest stars  which we now know are surrounded by numerous planets  some of which
are bound to be habitable. The book includes enticing descriptions of such newly discovered
planets and also brings alive key historical characters in our story  such as Jules Verne and
Werner von Braun.
