Overview

"You are going to Mars. You will be the first human to visit another planet."
An up-to-the-minute look at space travel to Mars with photographs from the "Viking" spacecraft and illustrations by Caldecott honoree Peter McCarty
This up-to-the-minute look at space travel describes, in riveting detail, the steps necessary to take a trip to Mars. More than thirty-five million miles from Earth, Mars seems almost inaccessible, since it would take an astronaut three years to complete the trip. Through interviews with astronauts and NASA officials, David Getz presents a firsthand look at the state of space travel today. Illustrated with evocative drawings by Caldecott Honor winner Peter McCarty and photos of Mars from the "Viking" spacecraft, "Life on Mars" is essential for anyone who has ever wondered about that enigmatic red planet in the nighttime sky.
