Mars Girl Earth Boy

Mars Girl Earth Boy is a celestial coming-of-age adventure story about Marietta, the first human born on Mars. She is an active member of Mars Base I, whose 20-year mission is to settle the planet. One of the challenges is to alter the atmosphere of the Red Planet, making it more conducive to human life. But large-scale success has evaded them due to their inability to find enough water. It’s now the year 2045 and Commander Ernesto Cardenas of the United Nations Aerospace Administration has just arrived with his wife and young son Ernie to audit the Base’s efforts and decide its fate. In a surprising twist, their survival and that of the Mars Base eventually comes down to the success of Marietta and Ernie as they take off on a wild, unauthorized exploration of a mysterious “pyramid” thought to hold the secret to life on Mars. Includes seven embedded videos of two of the original inhabitants of Biosphere 2 (a totally enclosed “Mars on Earth” project) talking about the reality of living on Mars and the real challenges that would be faced by young space travelers like Marietta and Ernie.
