This edition does not have illustrations. Is there life on Mars - and if not, then why not? have obsessed human beings throughout the 20th century. Shading into the vastness of the new Millennium, "The Quest for Mars" seeks final answers to these questions from the highly skilled NASA scientists attempting to identify life on the restless Red Planet.' Every single human being from an early age dreams of discovering life somewhere out there in space. Looking out at the enormous intricacies of the universe with its millions of individual stars scorning me, I don't believe life evolved right here on Earth; it necessarily developed somewhere else. We can't possibly be different. I genuinely do not believe we're actually the most sophisticated lifeforms in all creation, but..that's just a wild guess I feel so heartily,' said Dr. Claire Parkinson, a famous NASA Scientist. Out of all of the planets, no spot has captivated human mind and sensation quite like Mars for many centuries. Guided by generations of councilors, scientists all over the world have anticipated poignant information about the make and intelligence of our home planet and the residents can be found far below the fiery skies passing directly over Mars' broken surface. At this time, the myth surrounding Mars has taken on a pure vibrancy; public interest in our mission on Mars is exploding; and the inconceivable deeds of the abundant small Mars Scout Six-Turquoise made its way over to earth in the summertime of 1987 ignited the most excitement in a space trip in ages.'In "The Quest For Mars" writer Laurence Berreen has free access to an army of NASA staff members - engineers, geologist, and other respected scientists - who embrace the quest to unlock the keys to life on Mars.' Just like legitimate challenges blathering its way unbeknownst to theirs, their lifelong quest to unveil a more profound comprehension of life all across Mars and the whole Solar Family, and each step, that walk has accompanied us through to the heights and within a sense of disillusionment to their extraordinary occurrence. There are no boundaries that this fascinating tale of outer approach delves behind.

This edition does not include illustrations.Is there life on Mars? And if not, why not? These questions have gripped mankind throughout the twentieth century. In the shadow of the new millennium, The Quest for Mars seeks the definitive answers from the dedicated NASA scientists participating in the race to discover life on the Red Planet.‘Ever since I was a small child, I’ve believed there was life out there. When I look at the magnitude of the universe, with its billions of stars, I believe that if life developed here on Earth, it must have developed elsewhere. We simply can’t be unique. I really don’t think we’re the most intelligent life forms in the universe, but that’s just my gut feeling’, Dr Claire Parkinson, NASA scientist.Of all the planets, Mars has exerted the most powerful allure over the human intellect and imagination. Generations of astronomers have expected to find clues to the origin and destiny of Earth and its inhabitants concealed amid the red storms sweeping across the surface of Mars. Today, the mystique of Mars is even greater. Public interest in the Mars mission is sky-high; the exploits of the tiny Mars Rover ‘Sojourner’ in the summer of 1997 excited the greatest curiosity in a space mission in a generation.In The Quest for Mars Laurence Bergreen has unrestricted access to a team of NASA employees – engineers, geologists and other scientists – who are consumed by the search for proof of life on Mars. As one formidable obstacle after another attempts to scupper their quest for a deeper understanding of life on Mars and throughout the Solar System, the narrative takes us step by step through the exhilaration and the despondency of their extraordinary adventure. Nothing is off limits in this unique, behind-the-scenes story of space exploration.
