Let’s not send a few thousand people to Mars as a big experiment in survival.

A book review on the latest Weinersmith creation. It’s true, there is so much we don’t know.

Just throwing this out there on this forum because missing technology is the problem that kills the dream of Mars, according to the authors.

    I know I can, I’m being tongue in cheek. But would that work actually merit book reviews just because it was book length?

      I suppose it depends on how good of a writer you are.

      Some writers can say things we all know so well that it’s like we’re finally understanding it for the first time. Some writers have a knack for delivering facts or prose with the perfect dose of humor; it’s not what they say, but how they say it that is valuable.

      I suppose the question of what merits a book has is more complicated than just “does this book push the envelope of human knowledge”, huh?
