Book of Mars
The history of Mars is intrinsically bound up with that of Earth – some scientists even think that the original building blocks of life came from there. The European Space Agency’s Mars Express probe, undeterred by the failure of its Beagle 2 lander back in 2003, recently beamed back some of the clearest images yet of a crater filled with water ice in the northern lowlands of what was once thought to be an arid world. Despite a chequered history of failed spacecraft and the so-called ‘Mars Curse’, the Red Planet is finally giving up some of its secrets. In this book it’s revealed what scientists know so far about the planet and the theories that may help us to understand it further, exploring how one day we could make it into another human home.
