Destination Mars: The Story of Our Quest to Conquer the Red Planet by Andrew May
4.0
‘Mars Fever’ as explained in this book, is definitely making a come back and Mars, holding our hopes for interplanetary travel and colonisation is an important topic of today.
This book was a great foundation in all things Mars, going back through its history, notable figures in rocket science and space travel as well as where we’re projected to be in terms of going to Mars.
It was a nice, succinct and very informative book, written in a way that was easy to read and gives you a nice coverage of the story of our quest to conquer the red planet. From early history, the logistics and limitations of travelling to space, the current direction of the mission to Mars, public - private partnerships (with Space X for example) and just what a colony on Mars would look it. Is it feasible? What are our plans? How would we get to Mars and what are the estimates timeframes for such a feat? All explained in this book - so if you’re tickled into interest, this is certainly the book to start your endeavour into Mars reading.
