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 progress and a great desire to be not the only intelligent beings in the universe played a cruel joke on the newspaper, and Italian natural canals 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" to the Martians, why suddenly representatives of the Red Planet became "green men" and how toilets are designed in spaceships that will one day fly to Mars - all this and more you will learn by reading "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!
