The mission to Mars is doomed. Just like the mission to Earth has been a colossal failure. We had one job to do when God (or the aliens) put us here on this planet: team work. Instead, we are at the brink of extinction.
This book explores scenarios about the way in which humanity botches the proposed mission to colonize Mars through a series of tales of human folly.
From an evil scientist bent on creating a human/alien race to kill off and replace people, Martian pioneers lost in space, and Martian colonists murdering and raping in the absence of law and order--to cannibalism, public executions, and a zombie virus outbreak that infects everyone all the way up to the President of the United States.
It seems that no scenario is favorable for humanity's dream of reaching the stars other than, perhaps, by ceasing to be human altogether.
