“Em Fobos, a lua mais interna de Marte e local de prováveis recursos extraterrestres, uma usina móvel de produção de propelentes se arrasta por toda a superfície irregular. Usando um reator nuclear, a grande torre derrete a superfície, gerando vapor, que é convertido em hidrogênio e oxigênio líquidos”. (texto: NASA).
“On Phobos, the innermost moon of Mars and likely location for extraterrestrial resources, a mobile propellant-production plant lumbers across the irregular surface. Using a nuclear reactor the large tower melts into the surface, generating steam which is converted into liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen”. (from NASA).
Pat Rawlings, 1986.

Science project
Last year, in cooperation with ASU Center for Science and the Imagination, and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, I had a great chance to create 8 illustrations for the project called “Visions, Ventures, Escape Velocities” - a research-based collection featuring narratives by top science fiction authors and essays by experts on future possibilities for exploring Mars, Asteroids, Low Earth Orbit, and Exoplanets.
And it’s finally out :)
You can download it for free in various e-book formats here (or even get a print-on-demand copy)
