Summary In the summer of 2008, Andrew Kessler spent 3 months in mission control of The Phoenix expedition to Mars. This story is a human drama about modern day Magellans battling NASA politics, tempermental robots, and the bizarre world of daily life in mission control while trying to find out how climate change can turn a warm, wet planet like Earth into a cold, barren desert like Mars.
