Miller, Ron, Curiosity’s Mission to Mars. Pgs.
64. Twenty-First Century Books, 2014. $33.26. INFORMATION.
Could life exist on Mars? Could humans travel there. Curiosity, a Mars Rover, has shown scientists that there are
places where Mars’ climate and geology could or did at one time support life.
An ancient streambed where water once flowed and rock samples show that the
surface soil still holds water. By digging into the rock, the rover detected
that key chemicals necessary for life are present and radiation levels are well
within habitable range. So what would it take to make Mars livable again? How
and when would we get there? This book looks at the answers to these questions
and more as it explores Mars, the logistics of life there, and how that could
affect us here on Earth.
A fascinating, objective, well-laid out look at what could
very well be the future. Included are images from the surface, scientific
analysis, and predictions of the future. In the back, readers can find a
glossary, external sources, and more information that align with the goals of
common core. A perfect addition to any library’s non-fiction collection. MS. ESSENTIAL.
