The Economic Viability of Mars Colonization publishing in Bulgarian

The book was successfully published on paper in March 2016, in print of 1000 books. Some 50-100 are already distributed. 🙂

Thank you all of you who participated in that project.

Here are the published book photos:

Well, many books 🙂

Internal covers are with Martian maps…

Read the story of campaign below:

Mars Society Bulgaria would like to raise money for publishing Dr. Robert Zubrin’s ‘The Economic Viability of Mars Colonization ‘ (http://www.marspapers.org/papers/Zubrin_1995.pdf) into Bulgarian in print of 1000 books.

All books shall include gratitude to BitCoin Utopia crunching community.

The longer story about all this

The books shall be given away to interested public libraries and schools (there are 60 public libraries and 2500 schools in Bulgaria). The books would be given away to individuals for small donation for Mars Society Bulgaria projects, should any books remain.

The text has been translated in 2012 and it is available online (http://wp.me/P2nj5T-28). Our desire is to include also two A5-size Mars maps as inner cover pages into the book (the maps are visible here: http://wp.me/P2nj5T-7g. Should anyone goes to individual map page, s/he may download the hi-res electronic format from the link at the bottom of the dedicated page).

The purpose of this project is to increase public awareness of reaching Mars as realistic and rational aim.

A book would be available for any BU cruncher, with a sign from the translator (it’s me, Mihail Mateev).

For any questions I am available at https://www.facebook.com/MihailMMateev.
