Description
This is the ultimate trip! You've chosen Mars as your holiday destination. But there are a few things you need to know before you set off. Are you ready for the seven-month journey and the astronaut training programme? The space food served on the rocket is hardly award-winning. And when you arrive at your destination, the planet will not seem welcoming with its epic dust storms and freezing winter temperatures. But the sunsets will be spectacular and Earth is just a green and blue speck far away.
This book examines the science behind inter-planetary space travel and living on Mars. It details what we know of Mars and how humans might one day colonise it. Written as a child's travel guide and packed with scientific facts about our inspirational nearest neighbour, this book is guaranteed to inspire any young scientist.
