The Case for Mars: The Plan to Settle the Red Planet and Why We Must (25th Anniversary Edition)

The updated 25th anniversary edition of The Case for Mars presents what for some has been long been an alluring dream, impossible to reach and explore. But progress is rapid.

Space exploration expert Robert Zubrin, who crafted the blueprint for Mars exploration twenty-five years ago, describes how the American space program and private companies like SpaceX are racing to send astronauts to Mars. He advocates for a travel-light and live-off-the-land approach to Martian settlement, using present-day technology to produce fuel and oxygen, build bases, and eventually terraform the planet.

As a landmark mission opens the decisive campaign to reach Mars, Zubrin outlines a comprehensive plan for building life on a new world. This book contains a foreword by Elon Musky.
