Goodreads asked Gregory Gates:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Gregory Gates As I mentioned previously, it's a long story. In short, I've been fascinated with space exploration all my life. I remember well the excitement generated by the Apollo program and man's first steps on the moon. I've always hoped we would take the next step - Mars - in my lifetime, but I'm not at all convinced that will happen. So I decided to write a book about how it might be possible right now, today.
