Reviews
" Destination Mars brings to life an extraordinary part of human exploration--the preliminary reconnaissance of the planet of dreams over the last fifty years. Enlivened by interviews with many of the participants, Destination Mars makes you feel as if you are exploring the planet with them." --Steven J. Dick, Former NASA chief historian "The seductive fascination of the red planet never palls, and...Rod Pyle stokes our hunger. For the Mars obsessed, the real thrills will be in his detailed descriptions of upcoming missions, the pseudo-Martian research conducted in Earth's most hostile environments, and interviews with explorers such as Steven Squyres, principal investigator of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover." - Nature "Every few years NASA announces the arrival of another [Mars rover]... Ho-hum? Science journalist Rod Pyle's lively overview of Mars missions should be an antidote to any such ennui.... Pyle's conversational style is ideal for conveying the excitement of these decades of discovery." - Natural History, ""Nothing is more human than curiosity--looking around the next corner, the next mountain . . . the next planet. This sense of undaunted wonder is brought to life in Rod Pyle's tour of our fascinating love affair with Mars."--David Brin, astronomer, author of Existence and The Postman"Pyle's own fascination with the high adventure of Mars exploration comes through in this highly approachable account of one of the most audacious scientific endeavors of all time." --Mike Okuda, recipient of the NASA Exceptional Public Service Medal, 2009 "This book is a front-row ticket to a magnificent adventure. With his own boundless curiosity, keen eye for detail, and infectious enthusiasm, Rod Pyle takes you inside the world of the most advanced and ambitious mission to the red planet. It's a journey you don't want to miss." --Andrew Chaikin, author of A Passion for Mars "Rod Pyle captures the essence and deep detail of the greatest robotic adventure ever put forth--with its challenges and triumphs, Curiosity's mission is a testament to what we can achieve. With his fascinating insights, Pyle causes us to look forward to a spectacular future of exploration." --David Knight, original XPRIZE team member, "Nothing is more human than curiosity--looking around the next corner, the next mountain . . . the next planet.
