Download Martian Summer: My Ninety Days with Interplanetary Pioneers, Tempermental Robots, and NASA's Phoenix Mars Mission AudioBook Free
Get right up close and personal with science as Andrew Kessler narrates his entertaining trip inside NASA's Phoenix Mars objective - a historic enterprise manned by a motley team of rocket experts. The Phoenix Mars objective was the first man-made probe ever sent to the Martian arctic. Its goal was to learn how climate change could change a warm, wet planet (read: Globe) into a frigid, barren desert (read: Mars). On the way, Phoenix discovered a huge frozen ocean trapped beneath the north pole of Mars, unique food for aliens, and liquid water, and laid the building blocks for NASA's current exploration of Mars using the Attention rover. This isn't science fiction. It's truth. As well as for the luckiest fanboy in fandom, it was the best getaway ever. Andrew Kessler put in the summer of 2008 in NASA's objective control with 130 of the world's best planetary experts and technical engineers as they carried out this ambitious procedure. He returned with a story of human play about modern-day pioneers fighting NASA politics, temperamental robots, and the bizarre world of lifestyle in objective control.
