Product Overview
There is no doubt about it: One day, man will walk on Mars. Perhaps one day we will even inhabit what is known as the red planet. Our fascination with Mars is decades old. It is the planet we have long sought to explore in-depth, it is the planet where many of Earths galactic enemies have hailed from in movies and on television, we have sent satellites to orbit it and rovers to comb its surface, and yet it remains steeped in mystery.
Now in an all-new special edition - Mission to Mars: Our Journey Continues, with a foreword by Buzz Aldrin as well as reporting from Jeffrey Kluger, TIME takes a closer look at Mars and what its future holds for us: Will man out grow Earth? If so, when and by then, will we have the capability and technology to colonize and inhabit Mars? Is Mars similar to Earth, and will it be able to sustain human life? This edition also explores NASAs history with Mars and the many attempts to reach it the ones that have been successful, and those that have not, as well as what a year in space is really like, the history of our solar system and a quick quiz to determine how well you really know Mars.
The future is coming, and Mission to Mars: Our Journey Continues is going to help you be prepared.
