Non-Fiction
Since the beginning of human history Mars has been an
alluring dream—the stuff of legends, gods, and mystery. The
planet most like ours, it has still been thought impossible
to reach, let alone explore and inhabit. Now with the advent of a revolutionary new plan, all this
has changed. Leading space exploration authority Robert
Zubrin has crafted a daring new blueprint, Mars Direct,
presented here with illustrations, photographs, and engaging
anecdotes. The Case for Mars is not a vision for the far future or one
that will cost us impossible billions. It explains
step-by-step how we can use present-day technology to send
humans to Mars within ten years; actually produce fuel and
oxygen on the planet's surface with Martian natural
resources; how we can build bases and settlements; and how
we can one day "terraform" Mars—a process that can alter the
atmosphere of planets and pave the way for sustainable life.
