Repost from @astro_giulia using @RepostRegramApp - “What if you were born on Mars? What if you were the first Martian? A part from the scientific aspect, I think the most complicated and intriguing part [while writing the novel] was trying to empathize with the protagonists, trying to catch their thoughts and feelings, understading their psychology, their fears, their vision of the world, being the first humans being born on a planet that is not Earth. What does it mean living in such a dangerous environment? What does it mean knowing that the whole humanity is living somewhere else? It's characterizing of adolescents to fight back and break the rules, but what would happen if they were on Mars? It could be disastrous. This is Ad Martem 12.” . - ALTEC, Turin. 14/10/2018 Presentation of my book. #AdMartem12 #Novel #SciFi #Mars #Writer #Author #Reading #Book #TheMartian #Aerospace #Engineering #ESA #NASA #FutureAstronaut #Astronaut #Science #Technology #GirlsPower #STEM https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo-feGohSvd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fo30zm8jlf2o
