This weeks contest is for an ARC of Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void
by Mary Roach! (release date 8/2/2010)Check out my review HERE.
This is a great book if you love science, space exploration, history....... or even if you don't - like myself. Roach approaches the topic with a sense of humor & intelligence which makes for a fantastic laugh out loud read!
*Tell me - is there anywhere in space you would like to be able to visit? Mars - the moon - another planet?? Not me...I'll just stay firmly planted on earth and read about it! Do you think we should be traveling to Mars??

I'm not so sure about space travel. I mean...why? So far we know of no place humans could live except for Earth. As for me, I'm happy where I am too. No space for me :)

In answer to your space question...shoot anyone who mentions Uranus! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I have a +1 for being a follower.
To be an astronaut is my dream. Though it sounds impossible, I would love to explore new galaxies and unknown regions of our own. However, now we must take baby steps, so I wouldn't mind going to the moon or Mars!

Marc - does that mean I have to shoot you since you're the only one that mentioned it?? Clarify if you wish to live :-)))
ReplyDeleteIve been nuts with all my mailbox books! How did you like Fallen & Torment?
ReplyDeleteYes I definitely think we should be travelling to Mars preferebly with me as part of the team. Failing that I would be happy just to get into space even if it was just a quick trip in Earth orbit.

Thanks for this contest! I would like to visit space, just to be able to see the earth from there. I think we should definitely check Mars out.

Ooh don't know about space exploration. I'd love to see another planet that had life on it (as in non-deadly-to-us life, more like pretty flowers and hummingbirds and stuff :D), or a red planet like Mars would be fascinating. But if I could choose to travel anywhere, honestly I'd probably pick somewhere on our own planet. Rome - the pyramids - even England. Just somewhere outside the normal sphere of day-to-day life (for me), to experience a different culture and history... that's what I'd love to do. (And hope to do one day, too. :)

I'd love to visit the moon and see my Earth from there. My little dream...
Thanks :-)
Well, it depends on if there's life in some planet. If there is, then I would go, just to see how people/creatures live there.
