The human race's desire to explore the boundaries of the known world drove our ancestors to climb the tallest mountains, conquer the poles and cross vast uncharted oceans before ultimately reaching out into space in the 1960s. Huge rockets were built to allow our space pioneers to travel beyond Earth's orbit and land on the Moon. But there is another frontier that we have yet to set foot on - Mars. The Red Planet is our next destination; it will be a long process, starting with small scientific bases hidden among craters and ending with enormous self-sustaining cities. But what will the journey from Earth to Mars be like? What will we find when we land? Where will we get oxygen and food? In this book, you will find answers to all these questions about day-to-day life in a Martian city. Mars offers us the opportunity to start anew - are you ready for lift-off? juvenile Eduard Altarriba, Guillem Anglada-Escude, Sheddad Kaid-Salah Ferron & Miquel Sureda Anfres Space colonies Juvenile fiction Interplanetary voyages Juvenile fiction Mars (Planet) Exploration Juvenile fiction Outer space Exploration Juvenile fiction Imagination in children Juvenile fiction 919.9 9781787081581 PPAK 260708 20260708121816.0 eng
