Designing humanity's future on the Red Planet: the clothes, cutlery
and habitats of everyday life on another world
Moving to Mars is the first book ever to thoroughly explore the
crucial role that design will play in the collective endeavor to travel
to and inhabit Mars.
A comprehensive overview of both past and current developments in space
travel and colonization, it begins with the evolution of the space suit
and rocket technology; it then proceeds to explore a wide range of
fascinating and never-before-seen projects on Mars-specific habitations,
covering everything from space-ready cutlery to clothes, furniture and
speculative habitats.
Illustrated with color images of rarely seen drawings, concepts and
prototypes, plus newly commissioned essays by the designers, artists and
scientists who are charting the path forward to Mars, this book
literally reveals a whole new future for humankind, fleshing out a
vision of an everyday reality on another planet.
