About Moving To Mars: Design For The Red Planet
Review [Moving to Mars: Design for the Red Planet] surveys a century of proposals for resettling adventurers many millions of miles from home. -- Eve Kahn ― New York Times If you can’t get to Mars... you can at least buy this book. Flip through concepts and prototypes that imagine how we might get to the red planet, what we’ll wear on the way, and how far underground we’ll have to build our homes if we expect to keep living. ― New York Magazine: Strategist Moving to Mars: Design for the Red Planet expands the show’s Martian scope, revealing mankind’s quest to inhabit the red planet as a grandiose, centuries-long exercise of imagination that is now taking shape in design prototypes with proposed target dates in the next few years―or decades, depending on whom you ask. -- Jack Crager ― Common Edge Product Description Designing humanity’s future on the Red Planet: the clothes, cutlery and habitats of everyday life on another world Moving to Mars is the first book ever to thoroughly explore the crucial role that design will play in the collective endeavor to travel to and inhabit Mars. A comprehensive overview of both past and current developments in space travel and colonization, it begins with the evolution of the space suit and rocket technology; it then proceeds to explore a wide range of fascinating and never-before-seen projects on Mars-specific habitations, covering everything from space-ready cutlery to clothes, furniture and speculative habitats. Illustrated with color images of rarely seen drawings, concepts and prototypes, plus newly commissioned essays by the designers, artists and scientists who are charting the path forward to Mars, this book literally reveals a whole new future for humankind, fleshing out a vision of an everyday reality on another planet.
