Edited by Justin McGuirk, Andrew Nahum and Eleanor Watson  Designed by Studio Julia  Getting humans to Mars has become one of the great challenges of our time. It will be an extraordinary technological feat, but also a feat of design. This is the first book dedicated to designing for the Red Planet. From life on a spacecraft to survival on Mars’ inhospitable surface, new forms of clothing, farming and architecture will be needed. This volume looks at the real work designers and architects are generating now – as well as more speculative proposals of what this future might look like. Some ask whether we should go to Mars at all, while others argue that the rigours of such a mission would force us to design a waste-free way of life.  Illustrated with more than 300 images and featuring original essays by leading thinkers in their field, Moving to Mars: Design for the Red Planet includes projects by NASA, SpaceX and the European Space Agency, as well as new work by designers and architects including HASSELL, Konstantin Grcic, Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg and RÆBURN. It also includes an interview with the science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson, who addresses why speculative design is the ideal discipline for imagining the ‘material grammar' of a life on Mars

That means it can go up and down, forwards and backwards, swivel left and right, and bank left and right The UFO is as flexible in the air as a flying seal with a 360-degree stunt feature, letting you dazzle any human onlookers with your aerial gymnastics 6-axis gyro control makes it super-stable Uses a USB rechargeable li-po battery (battery and cable included) Controller requires 3 x AAA batteries (not included) For ages 8 and up Kit contains:1 x Motion Control UFO1 x controller1 x 3.7V 280mAh li-po battery1 x USB charge cable1 x instruction manual2 x finger holders4 x spare blades

From March 22, 1952, to April 30, 1954, Collier’s magazine published a series of articles that predicted some aspects of the future with uncanny accuracy. The articles came out in eight installments, written by members of a panel of experts (Wernher von Braun, Fred L. Whipple, Joseph Kaplan, Heinz Haber and Willy Ley) brought together to discuss space realistically and to offer a blueprint for space exploration. Von Braun’s articles provided factual, detailed descriptions of spaceships and launch vehicles, based on work he had already done and was currently doing at the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville. Images were provided by Chesley Bonestell, Fred Freeman and Rolf Klep. This print is the cover of the April 30, 1954 issue - Can We Get to Mars? / Is There Life on Mars?
