The Long Window (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798245606538)

Humanity has a window to reach Mars-and once it closes, it may never open again.

As rival nations race to claim the future beyond Earth, engineers, politicians, and astronauts collide over a mission that cannot be undone. Every decision is constrained by physics, budgets, and biology. Every delay risks losing an entire generation's chance to leave Earth behind.

Robots go first. Nuclear power follows. Habitats are buried beneath alien soil years before any human arrives. Quiet compromises accumulate-each one defensible, none reversible.

By the time the first crews depart Earth, the mission is no longer about exploration. It is about commitment.

Because Mars is not a destination. It is a point of no return.
