After Mars Shannon Case

What happens after we reach Mars? It is not a question of if people will live on Mars, but when. So, this book isn't about Mars: it's about what comes next. Space Travel is the new frontier of commercial and public innovation. There is a vast universe yet to be explored and only a handful of people working to make sure the trip is successful. Every day a study published by NASA, European Space Agency or The Planetary Society gives us a taste of what lies just beyond the horizon in space. After Mars is a first-hand look at how many scientists, engineers, and artists are reimagining the future of space travel. Specifically, the book focuses on where humanity will likely colonize, and the research and technology needed to get us there. You could even think of it as a glorified real-estate advertisement. In After Mars, you will learn: * Why humans haven't colonized anything...yet * How space travel is poised to revolutionize in the coming decades * Why we have to think beyond Mars, and take a look at what's next Whether your goal is to be one of the first people to live off of Earth, or you are simply curious about the possibilities of life off the rock, After Mars will give you a glimpse of our not too distant future.
