Synopsis:
Leading space exploration authority Robert Zubrin has crafted a new blueprint, Mars Direct, that experts are hailing as the most visionary and pragmatic step toward expanding human activity in space since the Apollo moon landings. Presented here with illustrations, photographs and anecdotes, Dr. Zubrin's plan is not a vision for the far future or one that will cost impossible billions. It is a plan that could, theoretically, be put into action immediately, if traditional methods and costs are rethought. Zubrin maps out how the use of Martian resoures, innovations, streamlined approaches, and a series of manageable government grants coupled with the efforts of private enterprise can make repeated humans-to-Mars missions possible.
