Product Description: Ever since the Montgolfier's hot
air balloon carried a chicken, a goat, and a duck into the Parisian skies,
scientists have dreamed of contraptions to explore the atmosphere. With the
advent of the space age, new airborne inventions were needed. From the Soviet
Venus balloons to the advanced studies of blimps and airplanes for the
atmospheres of Mars and Titan, Drifting on Alien Winds surveys the many
creative and often wacky ideas for exploring alien skies. Through historical
photographs and stunning original paintings by the author, readers also explore
the weather on planets and moons, from the simmering acid-laden winds of Venus
to liquid methane-soaked skies of Titan.
