A City on Mars

Humans are curious animals. The desire to explore and the search for new resources have driven us to climb mountains, conquer the poles, or cross vast seas. This tireless quest has led us to space. We build rockets that propel us into Earth’s orbit and allow us to leave our mark on the Moon. Beyond that, the final frontier awaits us: Mars.

The Red Planet, a mirror in which to reflect. The inevitable destination if we want to become a multiplanetary species. It will be a long process, starting with small scientific bases hidden among craters and ending with enormous self-sustaining cities. What will the journey from Earth to Mars be like? What will we find when we land? Where will we get oxygen and food? In this book, you will find answers to many questions about the day-to-day life in a Martian city.

An exciting and informative illustrated book created by experts in planetary bases: together with Altarriba and Kaid-Salah, this book has also been written and imagined by Astrophysics at Queen Mary University of London professor Guillem Anglada-Escudé and full time lecturer in the Master's degree in Space and Aeronautical Engineering and researcher in the Space Propulsion's field at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, professor Miquel Sureda
