Book Information

Examines how the red planet has been perceived throughout human history--in mythology, religion, astrology, folklore, early scientific history, science fiction, and the modern era of scientific discovery and space travel. Special attention is given to NASA's exploration of Mars, from the first man-made satellite to orbit Mars and the first man-made observation vehicle to land on Mars, to information about the two current missions: Pathfinder and the Mars Global Surveyor.
