What if you could move to Mars permanently and live there comfortably? You might have to work like a modern-day pioneer, but you would have complete freedom and live in comfortable surroundings, other than the occasional trip outside in a spacesuit. Thousands of people will be able to. SpaceX has a completely reusable rocket called Starship, which is capable of carrying 100+ tons (over 220,000 lbs) to Mars at a relatively reasonable cost. Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet, has stated that his intent at SpaceX is the colonization of Mars. It WILL happen. The author explains in detail how it will happen, including everything from how we will get there to the infrastructure required on Mars. This book may sound like science fiction, but it isn't. It is a description of how it will really happen in the next 20 years. Come along for a fascinating journey as humans first explore and then move to another planet for the first time.
