The Big Book of Mars

With this audiobook, distant Mars will become a little closer, and the cosmos will interest even those who have never looked at the stars. Who would have thought that the obsession with the Red Planet began with a translation error. When Schiaparelli saw a network of lines on the surface of Mars in 1877, technological advances and a great desire not to be the only intelligent beings in the universe played a cruel joke on the newspapers, and Italian natural channels turned into English man-made ones. And ever since, people have been trying to find intelligent life on the distant Red Planet and make contact with it. Mark Hartzman has studied hundreds of archival materials and collected the most interesting stories from the past and present. Whether there is life on Mars, how Tesla was going to "dial" the Martians, why the representatives of the Red Planet suddenly became "green men" and how the toilets in the spaceships that will one day fly to Mars are designed - all this and more you will learn from The Big Book of Mars. And don't forget to share your new knowledge with your friends and parents: some facts they will definitely hear for the first time! The audiobook is designed for family reading and discussion. It will be of interest to parents and children 10 years and older. Translated with DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
