The Human Mission to Mars: Colonizing the Red Planet "The Greatest Adventure in the History of Humanity." Many in the scientific community believe the U.S. space program is completely adrift, with no sense of direction, no clear cut goals, and lacking vision and leadership.

The scientific Journal of Cosmology stepped into this vacuum and assembled a team of over 50 top scientists from NASA and other leading institutions, including five astronauts (two of whom walked on the Moon) who prepared a detailed, step-by-step, series of 24 chapters with each logically leading to the next, explaining how a "Human Mission to Mars" can be successfully accomplished and paid for and detailing the specifics and technology of the spacecraft, how the mission would be funded, worst case scenarios, how humans would react to prolonged space flight, what they might encounter once they land, the search for Martian life, planetary and human protection from viruses and deadly Martian microbes, the establishment of a Mars' base, terraforming Mars to established a permanent Mars' colony and a successful return to Earth.

This text serves as a road map and blue print for the greatest adventure in the history of our planet, and which will usher in a scientific and technological revolution that will serve the American people, American business, and our national interests and national security.
