Lesson 35-3 Space odyssey
The idea ofcolonising Mars -- a world 160 times more distant than the Moon -- will movedecisively from the second phase to the third, when a significant number ofpeople are living permanently in space. Mars has an extraordinary fascinationfor would-be voyagers. America, Russia and Europe are filled with enthusiasts-- many of them serious and senior scientists -- who dream of sending people toit. Their aim is understandable. It is the one world in the Solar System thatis most like the Earth. It is a world of red sandy deserts (hence its name --the Red Planet), cloudless skies, savage sandstorms, chasms wider than theGrand Canyon and at least one mountain more than twice as tall as Everest. Itseems ideal for settlement.
