“Men wanted for dangerous journey. Low salary. Extremely cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant danger. Return is not guaranteed. Honor and recognition for success.” This claim, which some attribute to the search for crew members for an expedition to Antarctica in the early 20th century, could perfectly apply to the search for astronauts toThe first manned mission to Mars in the 21st century.
This book lays the foundation for this adventure, approaching the secrets of the red planet from all possible points of view and in detail. You could say that by reading this book the reader can teleport and explore to Mars Valles Marineris, the extinct volcanoes of the Tharsis region, the moons Phobos and Deimos or the Gale and Jezero craters so familiar to us thanks to the large number of images sent by the Rovers and NASA has circulated through them.
Get ready for an amazing journey† Brace yourself, because Anthony Perez Green masterfully takes us to Mars, the red planet.
