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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIrreverent, poignant, and perfectly weird, David Ebenbach's debut science-fiction outing, like a mission to Mars, is an incredible trip you will never forget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46418923094252,"sku":"9781616963569","price":32.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/19397923482763.jpg?v=1746505339","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/how-to-mars-by-david-ebenbach-9781616963569","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
