Among the noted contributors are Harrison Schmitt, Steven Hawley, Don Pettit, Edgar Mitchell, and Robert Zubrin. Joel S. Levine (born 1942) is an American planetary scientist, author, and research professor at the College of William & Mary, specializing in the atmospheres of the Moon, Earth, and Mars. He was a senior research scientist at NASA, developing scientific models of the evolution of the Earth's early atmosphere, and created models of the Martian atmosphere for use during the Viking 1 and 2 Mars Orbiter and Lander Missions. Rudolph E. Schild (born 10 January 1940) is an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, who has been active since the mid-1960s. He has authored or contributed to over 250 papers, of which 150 are in refereed journals. Schild's research in the 1980's and 90's was focused on using gravitational lensing to determine the age of the universe and the Hubble constant. The investigation into quasar images also, in 1994, suggested the existence of a binary pair of stars within a few light years of Earth. He also published in 1996 his findings on rogue planets identified through analysis of Hubble Space Telescope images. Then, in the 2000's, Schild began focusing on the double galaxy CSL-1 and superstring theory, which was noted as a possible step toward uncovering the theory of everything. Schild is a member of a group of researchers who have published frequently on the claim that photos on Mars from various NASA rover missions have shown evidence of fossilized life. He is a proponent of "magnetospheric eternally collapsing objects" (MECOs), an alternative to black holes. These results are most often published in Journal of Cosmology, an astronomy journal edited by Schild himself, while his other research is published in more established astronomy journals such as MNRAS and the Astronomical Journal. The Human Mission to Mars - Colonizing the Red Planet 'The Greatest Adventure in the History of Humanity.' A team of over 70 top scientists from NASA and other leading institutions, including 4 astronauts (two of whom walked on the Moon) have prepared a detailed, step-by-step, "how to" series of over 50 chapters with each logically leading to the next, explaining how a 'Human Mission to Mars' can be successfully accomplished and paid for and detailing the specifics and technology of the space craft, how the mission would be funded, worst case scenarios, how humans would react to prolonged space flight, the effects of stress and radiation and zero gravity on the body and the mind, what they might encounter once they land, the search for Martian life, planetary and human protection from viruses and deadly Martian microbes, the establishment of a Mars' base, terraforming Mars to established a permanent Mars' colony, sex on Mars and the birth of the first Martian, and a successful return to Earth. This text serves as a road map and blue print for the greatest.
