Résumé

A journey through Space that explores the fast-unfolding realities of life and living on the red planet, with unexpected insight to the speed and surge of private and public initiatives hurtling us toward a life of twin planets. Have you ever dreamed of visiting Deep Space? Lewis Pinault has. A scientist and determined innovator of exploration technologies, now an explorer in his own right, Lewis watched the race to the Moon as a young boy and dreamed of exploring distant planets.
His boyhood love led him to work with NASA, Airbus and their Space Systems division, and run-away startup satellite network Spire Global. Lewis even applied to join the Mars One programme to colonise Mars, and he soon discovered that he isn't alone in his desire to see what life might be like on Mars. Mars Ahead is the companion guide to this next frontier of human exploration. In this exciting, colourful narrative, Lewis shows us the key characters involved in the race to Mars, the technologies need to get us there and the latest, cutting-edge research into life on the planet.
This is an insider's view on the next great Space Race, from space suits and rovers and new planet-spanning transport systems, to the disaster scenarios would-be explorers are training for right now.
