The conquest of Earth's moon was merely a precursor to a more
dramatic step forward, which will take men and women to an outpost
that might eventually become a second home for the human race.
Mars: The Next Step illustrates how the only feasible colonization
of another planet in our solar system will be on Mars. The author
addresses the various questions surrounding this theory with frank
scientific caution that in no way obscures his vigorous enthusiasm
and, above all, optimism for mankind's future in space.
This vivid and entertaining book explores "terraforming" (planetary
engineering), which could turn Mars into a more congenial
environment for humans, both in terms of changing the harsh climate
of the planet and the production of plants able to thrive there by
means of genetic engineering. The book includes numerous diagrams
of possible manned spacecraft, along with color pictures of Mars
taken on previous unmanned missions.
