No, it's not sci-fi; it's science. We could land astronauts on Mars in the next decade or so.

In fact, plans to reach Mars have been in the works since the 1960s. While NASA was putting the first man on the Moon, they were also calculating how to get astronauts on Mars.

It's been a while since then, but after successful projects like the Kennedy Space Center and the International Space Station (ISS), NASA is now ready to tackle the challenge of the Red Planet.

The projected timeline for a Martian landing is the late 2030s, and after that, who knows? We may even be able to colonize Mars.

In this third installment, Journey to the Red Planet illustrates why Mars is not simply the next step in aerospace exploration—it's crucial to success in all future deep space explorations.

Why is landing astronauts on Mars so important? Up to this point, only machines like orbiters and rovers have been able to explore the planet because there are many challenges to overcome. But if these problems can be solved and astronauts can safely land on Mars, countless deep space opportunities will be unlocked.

In other words, the success of various Mars missions will set the tone for other deep space voyages.

You'll learn all about how this can become possible in Journey to the Red Planet:

• • The science of living on Mars—what it would be like and how humans could survive.
  • The environmental, health, and technological risks and dangers that NASA has to overcome to land astronauts on Mars.
  • How will the Lunar Gateway and Orion work in tandem to make traveling to Mars possible?
  • How will technological advances, like AI, be used to support life on Mars?
  • What might life on Mars be like, from shelter to economy, and how will colonizing Mars affect people living on Earth?
  • NASA's long-term vision for Mars and deep space exploration and how they plan on making it happen.

This book also contains two bonus sections to further your curiosity and a glossary for easy review. The first bonus section, The Author's Personal Story, introduces you to the author. The second bonus section, The Most Fascinating Facts About Mars, highlights some amazing things that have captivated space enthusiasts for generations.

As we speak, NASA is creating technologies and planning projects to put astronauts on Mars in the near future, with the hope of colonizing it. Around the world, Mars will only continue to inspire millions as they look to the skies.
