Mars has long inspired wild flights of imagination, as well as intense scientific interest. Long ago, when only the Moon and the stars lit up the night sky, people watched as this blood-red dot looped its way across the sky. Today Mars is as fascinating as ever. It's a planet where some of us may one day explore. This book is a great read and a great look at our future on the Red Planet. It also explores that future and what it will mean for humanity.
