Mars may be the next addition to the list of places you can go! But there are a few items that need to be taken care of before blastoff. Mars is full of extreme features that stand in the way. What kinds of technology do we have now that will guide your way? What have scientists learned from the orbiters and rovers sent there? What's the plan if something goes wrong? Full-color photos show the risks and rewards that await explorers on Mars. 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.
