An Astronaut's View of Mars

摘要

Michael collins, Gemini and Apollo astronaut and author, Mission to Mars. Of the many authors who have imagined human missions to Mars, former astronaut Michael Collins was the first to speak with the authority of someone who had traveled in space. He published his book Mission to Marsin 1990, fouryears after NASA suffered its first space shuttle accident, but on many pages it reads as though it were written last week-in its assessment, for example, that a lack of political will to pay the high cost of a human trip to Mars is more daunting than the technological challenge.
