Just in time for the Mars Science Lab mission
Since the beginning of human history, Mars has been an alluring dream – the stuff of legends, gods, and mystery. The planet most like ours, it has still been thought impossible to reach, let alone explore and inhabit. But all that changed when leading space exploration authority Robert Zubrin crafted a daring new blueprint, Mars Direct. When it was first published in 1996, The Case for Mars became an instant classic, lauded widely for its game-changing perspective by those who would see the American space program rise to the challenge of Mars; Carl Sagan called Zubrin the man who, “nearly alone, changed our thinking on this issue.” Now, fifteen years later, Zubrin brings readers up to date in this revised and updated anniversary edition filled with spectacular illustrations, extraordinary photographs, and one-of-a-kind anecdotes.
Unlike the dead world of the Moon, the Martian landscape is filled with possibility, but humans must be able to survive there. In the grand tradition of successful explorers, Zubrin calls for a travel-light and live-off-the-land approach to Martian settlement. He explains how scientists can use present-day technology to send humans to Mars; produce fuel and oxygen on the planet’s surface with its own natural resources; build bases and settlements; and one day terraform – or alter the atmosphere of the planet in order to pave the way for sustainable life. As the landmark mission of the Mars Science Laboratory begins, Zubrin lays out a comprehensive plan to build life on a new world.
这本书绝不是虚构类。相反,它是迄今为止有关火星的书中最现实的一本。我个人最喜欢第五章《屠龙避妖》,里面挨个点评了目前载人去火星会遇到的困难,以及如何克服。也许你会喜欢第九章,那部分讨论了火星地价,还蛮便宜的!
评分很难想象这本书豆瓣能有9.0的高分,说实话,虽然作者已经很努力的让它浅显些,但仍然很枯燥。 虽然如此,但这本书依然让人十分振奋,不仅仅是现有技术的可行性、未来改造火星、殖民火星多么令人神往,更重要的是,作者指出了人类命运的方向,走出去,走向未知领域从来都是人这...
评分-----1----- 公元15世纪的某一天 一位身材中等的航海家带领着几艘几十米长的“大船”,领着90个人,浩浩荡荡从巴罗斯港出发。他们的远方是火红色的晚霞布满天空的大西洋。 一望无际的海洋不能带给人类恐惧,反而是一种新的希望。经历过漫长的海上流浪与飘荡。 最终,他们在绝望...
评分狂人。明天看完再写感受。 / 作者就像出现在每个大时代历史小说插画封面的那个人一样, 望着远方,野心勃勃,充满激情,自信到狂妄。 对人类来说,可能仰望苍穹是浪漫,是天性,是探索,是思考,是一种孤独感的向外映射,都可能。 为什么是火星?这个问题就像火星本身一样让人...
