Mars is the most studied planet in the solar system after
Earth. We have mapped it in higher resolution than most of Earth's ocean floor. We know its geology, its ancient riverbeds, its magnetic anomalies. We know that it once had an atmosphere thick enough to support liquid water. We know where the water went. What we don't know yet is whether anything was living in it when it did.
Ancient riverbeds on a world that hasn't had flowing water for three billion years.
Olympus Mons.
The largest volcano in the solar system is 22 kilometres high
and 600 kilometres across at its base. If you stood at the edge of its caldera, you would not be able to see the base — the curve of the planet would hide it. The flanks slope so gently that you would not know you were on a volcano at all. It is so large it creates its own weather. It has been dormant for perhaps 25 million years. It may not be permanently dormant.
Olympus Mons — 22km high. Three times the height of Everest.
"We are the first generation for whom going to Mars is not science fiction."
Terraforming.
The long project — heating the planet, thickening the atmosphere, seeding
it with engineered organisms, watching the first frost melt into the first puddle into the first lake — will take centuries. The people who begin it will not live to see it finished. But someone will plant the first tree on Mars. Someone will be the first to breathe its air without a suit. These are not hypothetical futures. They are timelines being planned now, by engineers who are alive today.
Mars as it might look in five hundred years.
