After NASA put a man on the Moon, the space program switched gears
and concentrated on other areas of exploration and research. What
if we were to travel to the Moon today? Return to the Moon asks and
answers many questions about future space travel to the Moon and
its possible colonization.
This manual takes the reader through how modern model kits are
designed and manufactured, how the scale is decided upon (most
modern kits are made to established scales so that models and
accessories are compatible with one another), as well as providing
advice on model-building tools and techniques. The down-to-earth
text, complemented by numerous photographs, provides details of the
ideal 'workshop' set-up for building models; tools and adhesives
required; paint types and application techniques - from brushing to
using aerosol cans, airbrushing and paint booths; the wide variety
of decals available, and how to make your own; basic building
techniques, and how to construct dioramas to put models into an
appropriate 'setting'. A comprehensive introduction for those new
to model-making, along with expert advice for those already
experienced in making models who wish to hone their skills.
Space exploration has come a long way since the days when early
astronomers thought they could see canals that had been built on
Mars through their simple telescopes. Today's scientists have
actually sent probes to the Red Planet that have sent back vital
information about Mars which has debunked some myths but also
created some new mysteries. Exploring Planet Mars looks at the
scientific facts about Earth's nearest neighbor and delves into
future exploration of the planet--possibly even colonization!
Topics include
- the history of Earth's relationship to Mars
- the various probes that have been sent to the planet
- what scientists think Mars was like thousands of years ago and
what it may be like thousands of years from now
- signs of life on Mars?
