Will humans someday live on Mars? The National Aeronautics and Space Administration already has the plans to make it a reality. This reluctant reader book explains how scientists believe we can do it. The plans and designs of possible future space vehicles and habitation modules are described and illustrations from NASA artists help present these plans. How will we prepare for one of the most monumental events of a lifetime, our first human journey to the Red Planet? With exciting detail, Michael D. Cole describes the preparations necessary for the trip to Mars, how astronauts will live on Mars once they get there, and what kind of work they will do.
