Negative Positive
Title: Brilliant in its simplicity, magnificent in its scope
Review: Zubrin's Mars Direct plan offers the most realistic option for sending a manned mission to Mars. But he's not a short-term thinker; much of the book deals with his ideas of Mars colonization and the eventual terraformation of the planet. Although much of it may be overly optimistic, there are no proposals which seem impossible; everything Zubrin discusses in this could, in theory, be done. Some of the best writing within the book deals not with the technical aspects of sending a mission to Mars, but Zubrin's heartfelt reasons for WHY such a mission should be sent in the first place. I recommend this book to anyone.
