Stephen Baxter on terraforming

Ever wondered what we’re going to be up to in a couple of centuries time? Science fiction author extraordinaire, Stephen Baxter, reckons we could have colonised Mars by then. In the April issue he discusses how we’d terraform the Red Planet, Stuart Clark looks at mining the Moon, we meet the man who researches warp drive and hyperspace travel, and we find out what our alien neighbours could look like. Plus, the next-gen lie detectors, infinity unravelled, how to solve puzzles, media streamers on test, and the patients that die for an hour in order to live. And there’s all the usual gems: your questions answered, gadget reviews, opinion, and mega-cool pics in MegaPixel. Plus, my favourite Instant Genius this month – taller footballers get blamed more for fouls. Enjoy the issue…
