Mars is full of fascinating geological features that would make a visit an amazing experience. From Olympus Mons and Mariner Valley, to the chaos terrain and Phobos and Deimos, the Red Planet is ready to be visited, cataloged, and explored. Readers will discover what the longest-ever road trip would be like, what to expect on the planet's surface, and what potential dangers face them once they get there. Full-color photos highlight Mars's geography and landmarks. 21st Century sidebars discuss technological advancements, hypothesize future endeavors and inventions, and solve problems and challenges astronauts might face. An activity at the end lets readers think about what they learned in a hands-on way.

      Gr 4-7-An in-depth look at risks, challenges, and science of the next big milestone of space travel, getting humans to Mars. Each book has five chapters with the same titles; "Destination: Mars," "Traveling Through Space," "X Marks the Spot," "Exploring the Planet," and "The Future." Each title covers a different aspect of Mars missions, and occasionally repeats facts or reuses NASA photographs, but the series remains interesting despite those rare repetitions. There is a realistic emphasis on the dangers of long-term space travel on physical and mental health and hardships facing astronauts who may live on an inhospitable planet. VERDICT An essential purchase for astronomy collections.
