Co-ordinates for a mission to Mars have been locked into your
navigation computer. But there are a few things you need to know
before getting there. Are you ready for the seven-month journey and
the astronaut training program? The space food served on the rocket
is hardly award-winning. Even when you arrive at your destination,
the planet itself will not seem welcoming with its epic dust storms
and its freezing winter temperatures. But the sunsets will be
spectacular and Earth is just a green and blue speck away. Written
as an explorer's guide and packed with scientific facts about our
inspirational nearest neighbour, this book is guaranteed to inspire
any young scientist. CONTENTS Learn about Mars: The adventure
starts here - get your Mars vital stats, read about the history of
Mars and its moons, and discover the differences between Earth and
Mars. Find out which probes have landed on Mars before you. Be
alert to all the potential dangers you will have to face. Make the
journey: Read about the intensive training you will have to go
through, find out what life will be like on-board your Spaceship,
and how to stay fit and healthy. Here's what to expect when you
arrive. Exploring Mars: How will you survive on Mars? What food can
you grow? Discover the view from Mars and the incredible new
landscape sights from your new home. Start the search for liquid
water, and try to find clues of life on Mars - the answers may be
hidden within the very rocks. Learn about terraforming Mars and the
current potential theories for making the Red Planet more habitable
in the future. Mission accomplished: Now read about some of the
astronomers, scientists and inventors who have furthered our
knowledge of Mars.
