New paperback edition - This detailed examination of our steps into space is viewed from our potential future there – on Mars to be exact – and considers how we will reach that point.
Humanity has always looked to the stars, but it hasn’t been until relatively recently that we have managed to travel into space. Carolyn Collins Petersen takes us on a journey from the first space pioneers and their work, through the First World War-led technological advances in rocketry that formed the basis for the Space Age, to the increasing corporate interest in space. This detailed examination of our steps into space is viewed from our potential future there – on Mars to be exact – and considers how we will reach that point.

The author concludes with our current advances and our immediate ambitions in space exploration. The future and its scientific possibilities are enthralling: who will be the first to step on Mars? Will matter/antimatter annihilations take us to the Kuiper Belt, or will it be ion propulsion? What is the Alcubierre Warp Drive? Will it take us to the stars?

Carolyn Collins Petersen is a writer and producer with extensive experience in a variety of media. Her award-winning work has appeared in seven books and a number of magazine articles, three major exhibit projects, Web-based science and technology venues, and more than two dozen documentary scripts for fulldome theaters. Carolyn is also CEO of Loch Ness Productions, an innovative production company. She provides outreach consultation, writing, editing, and other professional services to observatories, museums, planetariums, private companies, and research institutions.
