Description
After spending 687 days with her eyes fixed on the red planet, Farah Alibay shares her fabulous discoveries.
On February 18, 2021, the Perseverance rover landed on Mars after traveling 471 million kilometers. At the same time, a young woman with scarlet hair and a contagious zest for life appeared on our screens. As the scientific achievements of the Mars 2020 mission accumulated, the whole world got to know this scientist like no other.
In this book written during these frenetic months, Farah reveals her own conquest of space, from the quiet streets of Joliette to the futuristic installations of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Success and failure, challenges, the place of women in a traditionally masculine universe, diversity, performance anxiety, sport, knowledge and ambition: she addresses these questions with frankness and lucidity.
Because Mars is just one step in the journey of this rock star of space engineering; who knows where science and imagination will take her? An inspiration for generations of dreamers.
