How We'll Live on Mars by Stephen L. Petranek

4.0

While I agree with some of the other reviews posted about this book, that the material is nothing new and its a shallow view on what's required to live on Mars, I do not think it's a complete waste of time. This book is geared more space novices or folks who only just began to think about what it would take to colonize Mars. It's a quick read that covers both the historical desire for humans to explore the unknown, to the future steps required to leave our this little blue planet of ours.

Only read this book because it somehow made it into my queue and its was a short step to get me thinking about space after a brief diversion into Cyber Espionage detour. Some passages in the book, particularity the mining of the asteroid belt, reminded me of the Expanse Series; can't wait for the Babylon's Ashes.
