zur Neuauflage

This book presents a highly readable yet realistic view of the possibilities for human missions to Mars. It provides for the first time a ‘level-headed’ assessment of plans for human exploration of Mars to counteract the tendency of space agencies to take an over-optimistic approach to such interplanetary missions. The author presents a detailed analysis of why, in his opinion, the current NASA approach will fail to send humans to Mars before 2080.

Why explore Mars?.- Planning space campaigns and missions.- Getting there and back.- Critical Mars mission elements.- In situ utilization of indigenous resources.- Mars mission analysis.- How NASA is dealing with return to the Moon.- Why the NASA approach will likely fail to send humans to Mars prior to c. 2080.
