Veteran space journalist digs into the science and technology--past, present, and future--central to our explorations of Earth's only satellite, the space destination most hotly pursued today.

For science enthusiasts, space nerds, and fans of "The Martian"--and created alongside the spectacular NatGeo television 6-part docudrama "Mars," produced by Ron Howard--this companion book provides the scientific backstory on how we will build a new human civilization on Mars.

Now published in paperback, celebrated astronaut and bestselling author Buzz Aldrin boldly supports the continuing quest to explore the new frontiers of space. This colloquial blend of history, policy, and science appeals to afficionados and novices alike, and is told with the knowledge and passion of a man who has traveled to the moon and back.
