Lesson 35-3 Space odyssey

The idea of colonising Mars -- a world 160 times more distant than the Moon --

will move decisively from the second phase to the third, when a significant number of

people are living permanently in space. Mars has an extraordinary fascination for

would-be voyagers. America, Russia and Europe are filled with enthusiasts -- many of

them serious and senior scientists -- who dream of sending people to it. Their aim is

understandable. It is the one world in the Solar System that is most like the Earth. It is

a world of red sandy deserts (hence its name -- the Red Planet), cloudless skies, savage

sandstorms, chasms wider than the Grand Canyon and at least one mountain more than

twice as tall as Everest. It seems ideal for settlement.
