Mars is the next target for NASA and much of space science, once the return to the Moon is completed. We do not know if Elon Musk will travel with the manned mission that goes to the red planet, but he will surely try.
Our planetary neighbor hides multiple mysteries that humanity needs to explore to confirm two of its strongest hypotheses: the fact that it had life in the past or that it is on track to host the development of life as we know it.
There are indications to believe either of the two theories. The marks on your land show that abundant flows of water passed over Mars before its atmosphere was affected and the conditions of that world changed completely.
Another situation is that there is the possibility that humans create the conditions in which their ozone layer can be recovered and thus allow life to develop.
However, for now it is still a vast area full of red dust; hence its nickname, which is sometimes not shown as its surface is covered with an intense white, a product of the winters on this planet that is about 57.6 million kilometers from Earth.
Mars: the “White” planet
If there is snow, is there ice; And if there is ice, is there water? It is the premise that everyone immediately pulls out. And although there are indications that the vital liquid is on Mars, this is not one of them.
To explain the presence of snow on Mars, it must be understood that the flakes that fall on the land are cubic. That means that the water molecules join together immediately forming a kind of dry ice, it never reaches the liquid state.
“Mars is a very dry place, but if you go to the right place, you will find water and ice, just like on Earth”, said Sylvain Piquex, an expert who works at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) of the POT.
