I'm waiving my self-imposed rule in order to give this a 5-star rating without having re-read it yet. I'm doing so because I believe the content to be so solid and important to understanding our need to go to Mars as well as how best to do it. All in all, this is a very cogent and complete exposition of Zubrin's plan. There is a much more concise version, published as [b:Mars Direct: Space Exploration, the Red Planet, and the Human Future: A Special from Tarcher/Penguin|17298280|Mars Direct Space Exploration, the Red Planet, and the Human Future A Special from Tarcher/Penguin|Robert Zubrin|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1359384684s/17298280.jpg|23933929]. But the engineering details are missing from that book, and so may not be as convincing.
Some of this book's content gets a little repetitive, but that is because Zubrin is assuming (probably correctly) that some readers will skip about in the book, so he wants to ensure that his line of reasoning and evidence always hang together. And one can always skim over the redundant text. Zubrin has put a lot of thought in the end-to-end details of going to Mars. I cannot think of any aspect of it which he has not addressed fully to the extent of our current knowledge of the Red Planet. (Which reminds me: make sure you get the revised version of this book, published in 2011.)… (mehr)
