“This book shows how a flight to Mars has progressed from fantasy to … a reality that can be achieved by us. Zubrin is showing us the way.”
-- Buzz Aldrin
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.
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...
评分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!
评分自从人类登月之后,在太空探索上,几乎没有什么突破性的进展。对于火星这颗红色星球也只是派探测卫星和小车去拍拍照,或者捡捡石头,做一些简单测试,始终没有把派人去火星提上议事日程。通常来说有两个原因阻碍了人类探索火星,一是技术难度太大,二是所需资金太多。 罗伯特祖...
