PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Mission to Mars

Michael Collins flew his first space flight mission as pilot of Gemini 10 in 1966 and three years later he was the command module pilot of the historic moonlanding mission Apollo 11 Now with Mission to Mars Collins offers a provocative new plan for the muchdebated American space program With compelling arguments and contagious enthusiasm Collins shows that the most effective way to revitalize space exploration and NASA is to resolutely focus our planning research and development on one major goal human exploration of Mars with the longrange objective of establishing a permanent colony on the planetHe approaches this enormously complex expedition by mapping out a trajectory for the flight that would depart on June 3 2004 and return twentytwo months later after a fortyday stay on Mars He leads the reader on a fascinating and pragmatic examination of the host of physical technical and psychological demands that will have to be met before we can walk on the surface of our nearest neighbor planet Should both sexes fly on the mission What will be the effects of radiation and weightlessness and other factors we dont yet understand on the health of the crew How will they cope with the long months of confinement What will the mission cost both in dollars and in national commitment These and many other questions are addressed in Collinss riveting scenario of the space flight and his ground plan for a Mars colonyIn keeping with his accelerated schedule Collins rejects the current plans for setting up a preliminary outpost on the Moon suggests simplifying the space station Freedom to accommodate the Mars project and advocates joining with the Soviets to develop space technologies together Mission to Mars calls for bold governmental leadership multinational collaboration and an energetic pursuit of this great challenge and gives us a detailed dramatic and exciting picture of how it can be achieved. .

Buzz Aldrin, one of the first moonwalkers, has no shortage of these ideas. And in Mission to Mars he treats us to how, when, and why we should travel there. -Neil deGrasse TysonLegendary space statesman Buzz Aldrin speaks out as a vital advocate for the continuing quest to push the boundaries of the universe as we know it. As a pioneering astronaut who first set foot on the moon during mankind\'s first landing of Apollo 11--and as an aerospace engineer who designed an orbital rendezvous technique critical to future planetary landings--Aldrin has a vision, and in this book he plots out the path he proposes, taking humans to Mars by 2035.Foreword by Andrew AldrinChapter 1: The View from Air Force OneChapter 2: Time for Decision-makingChapter 3: Your Space: Building the Business CaseChapter 4: Dreams of My MoonChapter 5: Voyage to ArmageddonChapter 6: The March to MarsChapter 7: Homesteading the Red PlanetChapter 8: The Clarion Call 1. www.schoolsobservatory.org.
