On to Mars 2 is a serious treatise on the problems and solutions facing humans in establishing a viable colony on Mars.  Written and edited by Dr. Robert M. Zubrin and Frank Crossman, it contains over 130 papers and presentations pertinent to this issue.  Many are presented in the book and several others are contained on a CD included with the book.

I am proud to say that my essay on why we should colonize Mars and, by default, the moon was winner of the first prize in the Pioneers Section of a competition sponsored by The Mars Society.  That I am a part of this publication from an august group of scientists, engineers and knowledgeable laymen is both a delight and an humbling experience.
