Book Review: On to Mars 2
Summary - (Wed, 25 Jan 2006) Mars, both God of War and seductive planet. Its reddish hue bathes us in tempestuous delight, stirring our minds and our passions. Drawing us onto this beckoning delight is a collection of papers, stories and songs compiled by Frank Crossman and Robert Zubrin under the title, On to Mars - Volume 2. Each contributing author adds their own little ray of hope that soon Mars will have been visited by people. http://www.universetoday.com/am/publish/bo..._2.html?2512006 -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

Just wondering why one of Dr Zubrin's earlier books became so expensive via Amazon.com ?
First edition price maybe... anyway On to Mars 2 includes a CD-ROM with a movie of the Mars on Earth project by the MarsSociety
