Did you ever consider a trip to Mars? The planet Mars. It does become cheaper year after year, though. If you do, we recommend this brief guide that covers everything from the launch, over a smooth cruise, to the soft landing and, of course, growing potatoes (in-situ resource utilization) in just 150 pages. All that you need to know for your trip—all inclusive.

This is the real deal, however, a serious guide: the physics of interplanetary travel, rendezvous maneuvers, transfer orbits, and why astronauts float in space are explained by a college professor, in plain English.

All the nitty gritty details are included, too. How to make O2 and fuel on Mars? Life-support systems, communication, and navigation—how does that work? Why should we go there in the first place, and who will likely be first?

Buckle up and join the ride.

Obviously, we cannot book a trip to Mars right now (writing the year 2021), sorry, this book is a fictitious description of a trip to planet Mars describing the physics concepts and much more for such a trip of the future.
