ONCE UPON A TIME I LIVED ON MARS - KATE GREENE ...

'Filled with wonderment and awe ... Greene's eloquent memoir is equal parts escape and
comfort.' Publishers Weekly A powerful reflection on life in isolation  in pursuit of the dream
of Mars. In 2013 Kate Greene moved to Mars. On NASA's first HI-SEAS simulated Mars mission in
Hawaii  she lived for four months in an isolated geodesic dome with her crewmates  gaining
incredible insight into human behaviour in tight quarters  as well as the nature of boredom 
dreams and isolation that arise amidst the promise of scientific progress and glory. Greene
draws on her experience to contemplate what makes an astronaut  the challenges of freeze-dried
eggs and time-lagged correspondence  the cost of shooting for a Planet B. The result is a story
of space and life  of the slippage between dreams and reality  of bodies in space  and of
humanity's incredible impulse to explore. From trying out life on Mars  Greene examines what it
is to live on Earth. 'In her thoughtful  well-written account of the mission  Greene reflects
on what this and other space missions can teach us about ourselves and life on Earth.' Physics
