While Sci-Fi has only been a passing passion in my life, with the literary works of Arthur C. Clarke and Asimov still fresh in my mind, the tales coming from Mars have fascinated me.
Today it was announced that they have found snow falling in the Mars atmosphere, not to mention clay and calcium carbonate (Limestone) in the ground. Both of these can only be created in the presence of water.
This brings us one step closer to the ever advancing realisation that the only ting stopping humanity from populating Mars is its lack of atmosphere, something that is with time fixable.
Now while many may think of it as a deserted wasteland, others think of it as a mutated triple breasted utopia and many think of it as another way of ensuring humanities survival, i personally think of it as a true trek of exploration. In recent years exploration has become defunct, no longer is there a call for people willing to risk their lives in jungles, why bother when a satellite can view the land from above. But building a civilisation from scratch, now that’s a challenge.
