Description

Mars has captivated human imagination for millennia. Astronomer Patricia Skelton explores our relationship with the Red Planet, tracing its impact on our understanding of planetary motion and sparking debates about the possibility of life beyond Earth. From early observations to ambitious plans for future space missions, Skelton delves into the history of Mars, revealing how it has helped us expand our knowledge of the Solar System. The planet's role in testing new technologies and inspiring space exploration is also examined, as we look to the future and consider the possibility of astronauts joining the Martian surface. Over 60 years of spacecraft, landers, and rovers have expanded our understanding of Mars, and Skelton sheds light on this fascinating story.
