- More about From Cave Man to Cave Martian: Living in Caves on the Earth, Moon and Mars
This book explores the practicality of using the existing subsurface geology on the Moon and Mars for protection against radiation, thermal extremes, micrometeorites, and dust storms rather than building surface habitats at great expense. It encourages NASA to plan a precursor mission using this concept and employ a "Short Stay" Opposition Class mission to Mars as the first mission rather than the "Long Stay" concept.

This captivating book delves into the practicality of utilizing the subsurface geology of the Moon and Mars for protection against radiation, thermal extremes, micrometeorites, and dust storms, rather than constructing expensive surface habitats for initial missions. It urges NASA to embark on a precursor mission that embraces this concept, utilizing a "Short Stay" Opposition Class mission to Mars as the inaugural venture, rather than the "Long Stay" concept, which entails a mission that is excessively long, perilous, and costly for human expeditions to Mars. Within these pages, a concise history of the enduring significance of caves in the lives of early humans is presented, followed by an in-depth exploration of ongoing efforts to research and harness the potential of caves, pits, tunnels, lava tubes, skylights, and associated technologies for lunar and Mars exploration and habitation. Evidence for the existence of caves and lava tubes on both celestial bodies is extensively documented, showcasing the contributions of renowned scientists, technologists, and roboticists in this field. This extensive and groundbreaking work holds great relevance for longer-term habitation and exploration of the Moon and Mars, with particular emphasis on the operational aspects of working and living within lunar and Martian caves and lava tubes.
