Journal Entry June 19, 2050
I took some personal time off for today because I wanted to see the old city again before the monsoon season starts and the storms make it impossible to visit for a long time. So I placed my boat on the truck and drove all the way from home to the seaside early in the morning. I reached the place and parked my car in a safe spot near the sea. I saw an old lady selling a few fruits and stopped to buy a banana from her, which is my favorite. She said that her husband was able to find a way to grow these naturally which must have been hard work indeed. I haven’t had a banana in ages so that was a great way to start my little trek. The news report predicted the weather as cloudy with a chance of light rain today. It was a bit tricky paddling my boat around but I took my chances because I just really wanted to see the place before it became impossible for the rest of the year and it was still morning.

Four billion years ago, there was three earth in the solar system? Scientists have discovered that the birth of the human race is an unrepeatable miracle!
In fact, there are plenty of planets in the universe with such conditions, such as Kepler 452b, Glieser 581D and Proxima Centauri B, all of which are rocky planets in the habitable zone where intelligent life is likely to be born. However, the actual conditions on the surface of these planets are not yet known because of the distance. At present, limited by the level of human science and technology. There has done not have discovery of extraterrestrial life.

Arcosanti
Driving through the desert of central Arizona, I came across a rather futuristic-looking structure. From the road, it looks like a habitat on Mars. Upon closer inspection, the ultramodern structures are part of an urban experiment– in arcology, the blending of architecture with ecology.

Tight Fit - Chapter 1
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Ray Turner remembers this phrase over and over again, on loop, as he quickly gathers himself from bed to answer the Major Brigadier’s urgent 4AM distress call.

The Second Space Race
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. In fact, they’re banking on it. It was around the turn of the millennium that the second space race started. The ultra-wealthy – the moguls, the royals, the oligarchs – mainly men, competing against each other about whose rocket ship is bigger – and stronger, and faster, and better, and carbon-neutral, of course. They had already conquered the seas with their superyachts, the skies with their private jets, and society with their economic and political clout and corruption. Space was next.

The adventures of NASA's Curiosity and Mars 2020 rovers
The Mars Science Laboratory mission is a Mars rover called Curiosity, part of NASA's Mars Exploration Program, a long-term effort to explore the Red Planet with robots. The curiosity aims to assess whether Mars ever had an environment capable of supporting small life forms called microbes. In other words, its mission is to determine Mars' habitability. To find out, the rover is carrying the largest and most advanced suite of scientific research instruments ever sent to the surface of Mars. The station will analyze samples dug out of the soil and drilled out of the rock. The climatic and geological records of the planets are essentially records "written in rock and soil", including their formation, structure and chemical composition. The rover's vehicle-borne laboratory will study rocks, soil and local geology to examine the life building blocks of Martian chemicals (in the form of carbon, for example) and will assess the Martian environment in the past. Curiosity won't be NASA's only Mars rover active next summer. Mars 2020 will travel to the Red Planet. Although the newest rovers borrow from Curiosity's design, they're not twins: Built and managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., each has a role to play in exploring Mars and searching for ancient life. It's the close look that makes siblings stand out. NASA's Mars 2020 rover looks almost identical to Curiosity, but with many differences. In addition to studying the weather, Mars 2020 will also carry samples of spacesuits that will allow scientists to study how they degrade. An oxygen generator will test technology for astronauts to make their own rocket fuel from the Martian atmosphere. An underground radar fond of a lunar rover may one day be used to find buried water ice. For the first time in the history of space exploration, scientists have measured seasonal variations in the gas filling the air directly above the surface of gale crater on Mars. As a result, they noticed something puzzling: Oxygen, the gas used by many living things on Earth to breathe, behaves in a way that scientists have so far been unable to explain through any known chemical process. NASA's Curiosity rover has come a long way since touching Mars seven years ago. It traveled a total of 13 miles (21 kilometers) and climbed to its current position of 1,207 feet (368 meters). Along the way, curiosity discovered that Mars had the conditions to support microbial life in ancient times. The mineral-rich salt rocks found by Curiosity are interpreted as evidence of shallow, saltwater ponds that overflowed and dried. As The Martian environment transitioned from wet soil to today's frozen deserts, these deposits became watermarks created by climate fluctuations. Scientists want to know how long this transition takes and exactly when it happens. The latest clue could be a sign of discovery, as curiosity heads towards an area called a "sulphate device" that is expected to form in drier environments. It contrasts sharply with the descent, where curiosity finds evidence of persistent freshwater lakes. The clay lighthouse seen from space brought the rover here, but the region clearly has other stories to tell. Now, as Curiosity scours the area, scientists can gaze at geotourists and find landscapes old and new. There are several types of bedrock and sand, including active sand ripples that have changed over the past year. Pebbles are scattered everywhere - are they eroding from the local bedrock? A Mosaic taken by NASA's Mars Curiosity rover looks at Mount Sharp, which has been climbing since 2014. Highlighted in white is a rocky area filled with clay that scientists are eager to explore. It could shed more light on the role of water in creating Mount Sharp. On May 20, 2018, NASA's Curiosity rover successfully drilled a 2-inch-deep hole in the target called Duluth, the first rock sample captured by the drill since October 2016. A Mosaic of images shows a boulder-sized rock called "Strathdon," which is made up of many complex layers. NASA's Curiosity Mars rover used its Mastcam to capture these images on July 9, 2019, the 2461 day of mission day. The Mosaic of this image shows a large rock, called "Strathdon," with sediment on it, as seen by the Mars Handheld Lens Imager carried by NASA's Curiosity rover. These images were taken on July 10, 2019, the 2,462nd Martian day. NASA's Curiosity rover has captured the highest-resolution panoramic view of the surface of Mars to date. The composite image consists of more than 1,000 images taken during the 2019 Thanksgiving holiday and carefully assembled over the following months to include a 1.8 billion pixel view of the Martian landscape. The mobile station's Mastcam uses its telephoto lens to produce panoramic views. A dramatic view of the Martian landscape can be seen in new images taken from space, suggesting that NASA's Curiosity rover is studying a site called woodland Bay. This is just one of many stops the station makes in an area known as the "clay bearing unit" on the Sharp side of the 3-mile-high (5-kilometer-high) mountain inside gale Crater. NASA's Mars Curiosity rover's HiRISE camera is seen on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter in this image taken from space on May 31, 2019. In the image, curiosity is shown as blue blobs.

Mars Canal, Mars face, Mars Mouse, where is life on Mars?
Are we the only intelligent life in the universe? This problem has puzzled mankind for thousands of years, and the search for extraterrestrial life has become one of the missions of astronomy. Mars, the closest planet to Earth, is a natural candidate. Ever since the advent of telescopes, humans have pointed them at Mars and looked closely at it. As technology has improved and telescopes have gotten bigger and bigger, more and more details have been found as they look at Mars. Cracks in the surface of Mars, dark and light on the surface of Mars, Mars white polar cap...

Who owns Mars?
Who owns Mars? To date, more than 500 people from around the world have flown into space, sojourned in orbit, all the way to the International Space Station and even landed on the far side of the moon, but they have never made much of the alien landscape. Now that humans are setting their sights on Mars and trying to establish colonies and habitats, it makes us wonder if we have the right to do so. That's been revealed. Now to answer some more specific questions: Who owns Mars? Are you the devil? Have you always been curious? So why not pay attention to more clips like this? Then sound the alarm and find out more! And the obvious answer is: Martians own Mars!
