In 1961, the International Aeronautics and Space Union had established a space colony on the moon. The further deterioration of the living environment requires humans to put the Mars exploration plan on the agenda as soon as possible.
Due to the many obstacles in the space program and the budget reduction, Elma York, the "astronaut wife" who had just returned to Earth after completing her rotation, had to take up the responsibility of navigation calculator again.
Being part of a pioneering expedition to Mars and undergoing a three-year voyage could make Elma sterile. But with her husband's support and tolerance, Elma firmly embarked on the ideal path. There were many crises and dangers during the voyage; the astronauts persevered and averted dangers, and finally successfully arrived at their destination and built the first human settlement on Mars, the "Bradbury" base.
Reader comments
The plot of this book is very tight and exciting, making me feel like I am in a space adventure. The details of space life in the book are vividly described, such as "In this bunker we call 'home', there are only about fifty people who are 'permanent' residents." It made me feel the loneliness and tenacity of the astronauts. Elma's determination and courage are also admirable. Her words "I was preparing to return from the moon" showed me an image of a woman chasing her dreams. Recommended to friends who like science fiction and adventure stories!
