The incredible opportunity was clearly worth even the most absurdly tedious screening process. Perhaps worth following the strange protocols in a nonsensical handbook written by an eccentric billionaire. Possibly even worth their constant surveillance, the video of which is carefully edited into a ratings-bonanza back on Earth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut it turns out that after a while even scientists can get bored of science. Tempers begin to fray; unsanctioned affairs blossom. When perfectly good equipment begins to fail, the Marsonauts are faced with a possibility that their training just cannot explain. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIrreverent, poignant, and perfectly weird, David Ebenbach's exciting debut science-fiction outing, like a mission to Mars, is an incredible trip you will never forget.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ebenbach, David\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tachyon Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781616963569\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"David Ebenbach","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39494135742539,"sku":"9781616963569","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_5f20daca-2089-4aa3-9ccc-af6e65c9b835.jpg?v=1630423550","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/how-to-mars-9781616963569","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
