From the physics of interplanetary trajectories to the psychology of isolation, from landing a skyscraper-sized rocket on a planet with almost no atmosphere to producing rocket fuel from Martian air, Mission to Mars breaks down the most ambitious engineering challenge in human history for teen readers who want the real answers. This book examines every phase of a crewed Mars mission honestly - the six-to-nine month deep space transit, the invisible threat of cosmic radiation, the seven minutes of terror during landing, and what astronauts would actually eat, breathe, and do during eighteen months on the Martian surface. Drawing on the latest NASA research, SpaceX's Starship development, robotic mission findings from Curiosity and Perseverance, and decades of Mars science, this is a comprehensive and scientifically accurate guide to what it will actually take to send humans to the Red Planet - and why, despite every obstacle, it is worth doing.
