Mind Mappers: Can We Live On Mars? by Giles Sparrow
TAKE A THRILLING JOURNEY TO THE RED PLANET. FIND OUT HOW TO GET THERE, WHERE TO LAND AND HOW TO SURVIVE. No one has ever been to Mars. It is between 35 million and 250 million miles away, depending on the calendar. It has a thin and unbreathable atmosphere, intense radiation and sandstorms the size of North America. There is no fuel, and the only water is locked in the frozen icecaps and rocks. But Space scientists are developing a rocket to take us there! This book explores the complicated science and logistics of this incredible challenge.
