It is difficult to predict exactly when humans will land on Mars, as it depends on a number of factors, including technological advancements, funding, and political will. Several space agencies and private companies around the world have announced plans to ...
Going to Mars and living there is a lot more complicated than in sci-fi movies, although we might learn a thing or two from Matt Damon’s character from ‘The Martian’ movie. Scientists need as much information about the Red Planet’s ...
Astronomers might get closer to the answer to the centuries-old question: is there life on Mars? Ever since Galileo Galilei discovered our neighboring planet back in 1610, it became clear that astronomers would have a lot of work to do. ...
We don’t know yet how, when, or who will be the lucky passengers, but it seems inevitable that humans will land on Mars. Apart from being a highly-ambitious goal, we can also see it as an important step in exploring ...
Getting to Mars is obviously no child’s play. But once astronomers figure out completely how to land there, they’ll have to grow some plants on the Martian soil as well. While the Red Planet doesn’t have any plants now, as ...
Let’s admit it: despite the huge amount of knowledge that astronomers have about the Universe, sending astronauts to the nearest planet to us is still difficult. At its closest approach, Mars is still tremendously farther away from Earth than the ...
New findings come to spoil the dreams of many and relieve the tension for others. It depends on which side you are. Someone once said that whether alien life exists or not, both scenarios can be equally frightening. But for ...
Many of us have seen astronauts colonizing the Red Planet in sci-fi movies without even thinking that such scenarios will ever have a chance to become a reality. Humanity is still far from that goal, but it appears to be ...
Astronomers don’t give up hope in looking for signs of alien life on Mars, even though the planet seems like a complete wasteland. But we all know that looks are often deceiving and that even microorganisms such as germs can ...
Mars is located ‘right next door’ judging by an astronomical scale, and it’s the fourth planet from the Sun. This means that astronomers have many chances to study it, although no astronaut has ever laid foot on the Red Planet ...
If we humans have to be extra careful when an earthquake happens, any little green men living on Mars might have the same fears. While there’s no definitive proof for the existence of life on the Red Planet, we can’t ...
Since the dawn of time, some people have suspected that intelligent and extraterrestrial life forms are to blame for creating many of our world’s wonders. That’s the case for the Egyptian Pyramids, for instance, as scientists today don’t have any ...
Russia started to invade Ukraine on February 24, and nobody knows for sure how the horror will end. The ongoing invasion has captured the attention of the whole world, and sanctions have already started to be imposed. As a result, ...
For centuries, mankind has wanted to go to Mars. But the costs to go there are huge, the fuel has to last for months, and not anybody would be willing to spend years away from Earth. To make things worse, ...
Mars is the place of hope for many astronomers. It’s very far away for us: the average distance is roughly 54 million kilometers. But the distance is nothing for the unfathomable distances that traverse the Universe. What’s for sure is ...
Mars has become the dream destination for many astronomers in recent years. Although humans probably won’t get the chance to move there, at least in the next decades or centuries, sending spacecraft on the Red Planet to gather as much ...
Even though astronomers are taking more and more seriously the idea to move to Mars in the next decades, humanity still has a lot more to learn about our neighbouring planet. Back in 2018, scientists discovered another incredible thing about ...
If you’re not a fan of doing your laundry at home, as many of us, maybe it’s time to do it somewhere else: high above the atmosphere. While it sounds like a bad joke, it’s actually the new plan of ...
If we take a look at the recent astronomical advancements and what many scientists want, building a little colony on Mars should be a feasible project for the next decades. China now joins the list of countries that are planning ...
