Product Description

Product Description

The exploration and colonisation of Mars, as discussed in the more than 130 papers and essays from the Mars Society's annual conferences, is presented in this second volume of the "On to Mars" series. Formed in 1998 to support the exploration and settlement of Mars, the Mars Society seeks to educate and convince political powers, industry leaders, and the public about the necessity of committing resources to the development of a Mars settlement program. Covering recent technological and planning advances, these essays cover the last three years of Mars Society meetings and discuss such topics as habitat infrastructure, exploration technique, and colony organisation as they have been explored at the Mars Society's Analog Research Stations at Devon Island, Nunavuit in Canada and in Hanksville, Utah. Two short videos, Stepping Stones to Mars, and Robert Zubrin's testimony before the Senate Committee on Commerce at the Hearings on the Future of the US Space Program, are featured on the included CD-ROM.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great 2nd Volume of On To Mars series, 7 Nov 2006
By Philip Corneille (BELGIUM & CROATIA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the second "On to Mars" book by Dr Robert Zubrin. Zubrin, a former staff engineer of Martin Marietta, nowadays Lockheed Martin, is the founder of the Mars Society and has his own firm named Pioneer Astronautics. Dr Zubrin has a Masters degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics and a PhD in Nuclear Engineering. Basically, the book consists of 120 papers and essays on the exploration and colonisation of Mars, as discussed during the Mars Society's international annual conferences.
Subject covered include: Plans and overviews of proposed Mars missions, Research and education pertaining to Mars missions, Mars Desert Station crew reports, Tools and equipment ( Information systems ), public outreach and reasons to explore the red planet.
The book is great but the added CD-ROM is superb with interesting videos by the Mars Society. Already looking forward to a third volume!
