Summary
An inspiring exploration of the establishment of humans on Mars - tying into the National Geographic television documentary series Mars.
The next frontier in space exploration is Mars, the Red Planet - and human habitation of Mars isn't much farther off. In October 2015, NASA declared Mars "an achievable goal"; that same season, Ridley Scott and Matt Damon's The Martian drew crowds into theaters, grossing over $200 million. Now the National Geographic Channel fast forwards years ahead with Mars, a six-part series documenting and dramatizing the next 25 years as humans land on and learn to live on Mars. Following on the visionary success of Buzz Aldrin's Mission to Mars and the visual glory of Marc Kaufman's Mars Up Close, this companion book to the Nat Geo series shows the science behind the mission and the challenges awaiting those brave individuals.
The book combines science, technology, and storytelling, offering what only National Geographic can create. Clear scientific explanations make the Mars experience real.

An interesting yet unfulfilling exposition.
With all good intentions the author tries to introduce many concepts of a possible life on Mars while assuming very little knowledge beforehand, however in this attempt the book becomes flaccid in its treatment of the base material with little scientific insight except quotes and some descriptions.
Sadly I had hoped for a more Pro and Con on different essential subjects for life on mars and less an exposition of Life on Mars and a light brush on the psychological and ethical ramifications.

Had to abandon this.
Can't listen to any more of this appalling robotic narration. I'm considering cancelling my membership because this so called plus catalogue are all like this. Garbage.
