À propos de cet audio

Since the beginning of human history Mars has been an alluring dream - the stuff of legends, gods, and mystery. The planet most like ours, it has still been thought impossible to reach, let alone explore and inhabit. Now with the advent of a revolutionary new plan, all this has changed.

Leading space exploration authority Robert Zubrin has crafted a daring new blueprint, Mars Direct, presented here with engaging anecdotes. The Case for Mars is not a vision for the far future or one that will cost us impossible billions.

It explains step-by-step how we can use present-day technology to send humans to Mars within 10 years; actually produce fuel and oxygen on the planet's surface with Martian natural resources; how we can build bases and settlements; and how we can one day "terraform" Mars - a process that can alter the atmosphere of planets and pave the way for sustainable life.

Interesting, but quite dated and racist

There are some interesting ideas in the book for sure, although the author seems too optimistic on a lot of the unknowns of a trip to Mars.

I probably would have liked it much better though if he wasn't such a racist. Comparisons of populating Mars to populating North America (multiple times he strongly implies if not outright states "people" or "humans" didn't live in NA before Europeans) were completely off-base and have nothing to do with each other. I really don't understand why he didn't just compare it to Antarctica and leave it at that -- although I would think even that a stretch.

Beyond that he certainly has a tone that celebrates Western colonizers and Western culture, which it's ok to be proud of it, but to postulate it's humanity's greatest achievement as he does makes me wonder how ignorant he may also be of the details of the actual topic at hand, living on Mars.
