The manned mission to Mars will be
the
greatest exploration adventure of the 21st Century. What is the history
of Mars explortion? And what missions have been proposed? What typs of
space systems would be needed? And what are some concepts for Mars
bases. There is a lot of information and plans about manned missions to
Mars
A manned mission to Mars has been the dream of humanity at
least
since the nineteenth century when we first saw details of the surface
and thought there might be canals filled with water there.
Here I’ve looked at the history of unmanned exploration of
Mars
over the last fifty plus years, proposed missions to Mars, Mars
Settlements, and other major issues regarding traveling to and living
on Mars. Some proposals have lots of details of proposed scenarios if
you want to read all of the engineering and scientific analysis work.
I grew up in the 1960s when every kid in America was fascinated with
the Space program and the Astronauts. I also watched not only the
Apollo 11 moon landing, but all of the successive trips to the Moon and
exploration of the surface. This may be a lot of the reason I became
and Engineer, worked as NASA in Houston for several years, and applied
to the Astronaut Program myself.
My previous books on space are titled “Designing and Building
Space Colonies-A Blueprint for the Future” and “All
about
Moon Bases-And Our Plans to Return to the Moon”. This book is
written from a similar perspective.
There are some probes which reported life on Mars and then other
scientists questioned the results. We are still sending unmanned probes
today to try to answer those questions.
These three books will comprise the first three of my “Living
in Space” series of books.
