Mars, Inc.

How do you get to the Red Planet? Not via a benighted government programtrapped in red tape and bound by budget constrictions, that’s for sure.

No, what it will take is a helping of adventure, science, corporate powerplays,

a generous dollop of seduction — both in and out of the boardroom —

and money, money, money! Art Thrasher knows this. He is a man with a driving

vision: send humans to Mars. The government has utterly failed, but Thrasher has

got the plan to accomplish such a feat: form a “club” of

billionaires to chip in one billion a year until the dream is accomplished. But

these are men and women who are tough cookies, addicted to a profitable

bottom-line, and disdainful of pie-in-the-sky dreamers who want to use their

cash to make somebody else’s dreams come true. But, Art Thrasher is

prepared to do whatever it takes to get humans on Mars — or die

trying!
