Book Reviews of The Case for Mars: The Plan to Settle the Red Planet and Why We Must
Book Review: A new technological and philisophical vision for the future
Summary: 5 Stars
This book offers a coherent and sensible approach to the manned exploration and eventual colonization of Mars using current technologies and workable budgets. But more than that it offers a poignant phlisophical reason that this project must be undertaken now, for the good of all mankind. I found his epilogue to be one of the most profound articulations for the case for Mars that I have ever heard. As far as his science, it is technical enough for the engineer but simplistic enough for the dreamy eyed teenager. Great read.
