The story included in this book, titled "Children of the Sun," is an ancient story. A story of search and exploration. A story whose main fruits began to appear just a few decades ago. Who could have guessed then that in the early 21st century our knowledge of the Solar System would have increased a billion times? Who could have suspected then that we live in an era that would someday become a legend? An era that humanity will forever remember as the most incredible era of exploration ever known to man?
