1997 Ig Nobel Astronomy Prize winner Richard Hoagland has a new book out. He won his Ig for identifying artificial features on the moon and on Mars, including a human face on Mars and ten-mile high buildings on the far side of the moon. Those discoveries appear in his book “The Monuments of Mars : A City on the Edge of Forever.
The new book, called Dark Mission, is said to contain equally impressive discoveries. The publisher explains:
Why is the Bush administration intent on returning to the Moon as quickly as possible? What are the reasons for the current ?space race? with China, Russia, even India? Remarkable images reproduced within this book provided to the authors by disaffected NASA employees give clues why, including spectacular information about lunar and Martian discoveries.
