Arrive. Survive. Thrive. Getting humans to Mars has become one of
the great challenges of our time. Mars holds the potential of human
settlement, and the promise of life after Earth. Some of the
world’s greatest entrepreneurs, architects and engineers are
dedicated to conquering this next frontier. Moving to Mars: Design
for the Red Planet is one of the first books to focus on the
crucial role that design will play in this collective endeavour.
From the capsules that will need to keep passengers in harmony
during their nine-month journey, to the habitats that they will
live in, to the terraforming of the landscape to make it
life-sustaining, every detail needs to be designed. This task is
falling to the traditional space agencies such as NASA, and to
private entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk and Richard Branson, and to
architects such as Norman Foster. As well as technical and
practical solutions, this book will examine how design and design
thinkers are approaching our move to Mars in unexpected ways. With
striking, rarely-seen imagery and a unique design-led focus, this
book will appeal to ‘space junkies’ and design enthusiasts
alike.
