Summary:

"Using analysis from previous human and automated space programs, the
authors provide a credible scenario of the first human landing on the
Red Planet. This unique book will help everyone interested in the
space program to understand the clear benefits of sending a human
crew to the surface of Mars. Sustained long-term public and political
support for the program is a challenge to be faced and met."--BOOK
JACKET.
