Of all the planets, Mars has always fascinated humanity, conferring it strange inhabitants and landscapes. Mars is one of the easiest planets to spot in the night sky; a constant point of red light moving independently through the distant star cluster. Using only a conventional telescope, details of its surface can be distinguished. Further on, for some decades, we have known that this is the planet most similar to Earth and the only one that could harbour life similar to ours.
In an enjoyable way, the essential details that science has discovered about the red planet are explained, as well as the plans to establish a permanent human presence on the distant Martian soil. The book's chapters include:
What is Mars like: atmosphere, water, moons, landscape and the possible existence of life.
Travelling to Mars: types of spacecraft, fuels to use, landing difficulties and how to get to the red planet.
Our future on Mars: growing crops, terraforming Mars, getting air and water, building shelters, and designing cities.
The book includes over 40 full-color illustrations, explanatory diagrams and tables, as well as a selection of recommended books.
