About the author

"Pabulo Henrique Rampelotto is a molecular biologist and science editor with extensive editorial experience in the leading position." (Amazon, 2016; Springer, 2016)
"Most of his recent work has been dedicated to the editorial process of several scientific journals in life science and biotechnology, as well as on the organization of special issues and books in his fields of expertise. In his special issues and books, some of the most distinguished team leaders in the field have published their work, ideas, and findings, including Nobel Laureates and several of the highly cited scientists according to the ISI Institute." (Elsevier, 2017)
Pabulo is Editor-in-Chief of the book Series "Grand Challenges in Biology and Biotechnology" as well as co-Editor-in-Chief of "Current Biotechnology" and former Editor-in-Chief of "Life". He also serves as Associate Editor, Guest Editor and member of the Editorial Board of several scientific journals in the field of Life Sciences and Biotechnology. In addition, he is a member of four Scientific Advisory Boards of "Lifeboat Foundation", alongside several Nobel Laureates and other distinguished scientists, philosophers, educators, engineers, and economists.
His landmark work is the special issue ‘Grand Celebration: 10th Anniversary of the Human Genome Project’ (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/genes/special_issues/Human_Genome) and the book ‘Molecular Mechanisms of Microbial Evolution’ (https://www.springer.com/br/book/9783319690773).
Pabulo's scientific experience lies in the analysis of NGS data, genome assembly, comparative genomics, and network analysis, with a special focus on microbiomes. He provides insights and information to help foster understanding about the microbiome and the role it plays in health and disease. His customized suite of analysis enables researchers and clinicians to easily and effectively include microbiome analysis in pre-clinical and clinical studies across a range of human and animal applications. These endeavors have been developed through a rich network of cooperation at the national and international level.
"When he is not working, Pabulo enjoys spending time walking in the woods, in the mountains, and near the sea…thinking, always thinking." (Lifeboat Foundation, 2016)

Most other chapters have nothing to do with the title -- "A One Way Mission to Mars." Instead, they're just reprints of previously published scientific papers discussing the general physical and psychological effects of space travel on humans and other primates.
Worst of all, two chapters were written by one "Rhawn Joseph, PhD," who appears to have no valid academic credentials that I, or anyone else, can find (search his name to see for yourself), and whose name is associated only with apparently dubious theories. One has to be skeptical of a "scientist" who has no discernible credentials, and cannot even distinguish the difference between the words "affect" and "effect," which Mr. Joseph repeatedly uses incorrectly.
I was astonished by such incompetent copy editing, until I found that the book was published by The Journal of Cosmology, a controversial publication described as a "predatory scholarly open-access journal" by Scholarly Open Access, and denounced by biologist PZ Meyers as "Not a scientific journal at all."
I'd give this book zero stars, if possible, except for the first chapter co-written by a scientist I highly respect. I.m saddened that he allowed his name to be associated with this book.
I would recommend the book to all open minded persons who care about their children and grand children, and for the human species as well. Humanity should not place all its eggs in the same basket. Mars is much alike our Earth, and we could establish outposts, large basis and even colonize the red planet. It does make sense.
Moreover this project is quite affordable, and would necessarily foster Human progress. Not only technical progress, but Humanity as a whole as it would federate all nations to that scope.
