Hungry for Mars? Here's Your Menu!

Book excerpt: This book presents a realistic and well reasoned vision of the possible pitfalls, hardships and incomprehensible sacrifices that will confront the first people who attempt to establish a colony on Mars. Extremes in temperature, a toxic unbreathable atmosphere, working conditions that are uncomfortable and stabilized food rations seem to be what one could expect to find on a mission to Mars.The focus is the food supply and the methods and machinery that will need to be developed in order to launch and build a successful population of humans on Mars. Space travel is not for the faint of heart and this book is an honest and unvarnished effort to portray the true endurance one must possess to survive life in a Martian colony.
