Mars photo shows the Red Planet from above in "true" color for the first time ever

This view is about 1,550 miles above the Valles Marineris canyon system, revealing an enhanced view of Mars without its polar caps, thanks to the relatively low altitude.

The rulers treat their land so poor

Because they want to flee—

The planet earth is all played out—

Isn’t that reality?

I'm on chapter 2 of a book called "A City on Mars", and feel like I've already done more research on survival in space than some Mars settlement enthusiasts.

This absurd declaration is based simply on levels of "we're going to be able to do this soon" optimism that this book smacks the heck out of you.

This is how French illustrators imagined future technologies in 1924

I've found this picture on the internet and it made me reflect on the contrast between the past and the present. Beck then, people fantasized about the futur, just like we do today but the technology they imagined was very different. In this image, people are connecting with others via massive, strange equipment. In the background there is also what looks like an electric car.

I was born in 1990 and during my childhood there were no mobile phones, computers or electric scooters. I got my first mobile phone in 2006 as a gift from my mom. It only had MMS and SMS with no internet and the camera quality was poor but at the time it felt incredible because we didn't have the advanced gadgets we do now.

Technology has been advancing rapidly. Every year we see new models of phones, better cameras and the internet becoming more powerful. Now, we can not only talk to each other and post on social media but also do countless other things.

Today, we imagine colonizing other planets and people can create images using AI, just as illustrators did 100 years ago with their drawing skills. But now it's simple as typing a few worda and a machine created the picture.

Our descendants 100 or 200 years from now might look at our current creations while sitting on Mars. They'll probably feel surprised and smile, wondering how we could live without the technologies they have in their time.

And what do you think about this?

Here's something out of left field. You figure out how to terraform Mars, i.e. how to turn it into a habitable second home for humanity, within decades. Will you share the knowledge with the UN and thus have humanity terraform and colonize Mars, or will you keep it a secret forever? (Mars will forever remain inhospitable if you don't tell them).

Why is keeping it a secret even an option?

Of course I would love for humanity to become a multi-planet species as soon as possible!

There's a vast cosmos out there that's ours for the taking, and there's no reason we should be bound to this single world!

By the way, has anyone seen Kuzgesagt's video on terraforming Mars with giant space lasers?

so thrilled to finally have a place on the internet where my family can't find me...

they never did support my dreams.

But there’s a deeper science to their elegance. In terraforming zones, pools play an unexpected yet critical role. Acting as microclimate generators, they absorb and redistribute heat during the day, releasing moisture into the atmosphere. This creates localized humidity, which, over time, helps cultivate the conditions necessary for bioengineered plant growth. The interplay of water, light, and engineered algae within these pools accelerates oxygen production, laying the groundwork for a breathable Martian future.

Friendly reminder that "we rendered the Earth uninhabitable, so we colonized Mars" makes no remote sense at all.

There is nothing we could do to Earth to render it less inhabitable than Mars. Whatever terraforming equipment we invent could just be used here, too.

Sometimes we need to look beyond to reach for new horizons. Just as we're exploring the possibility of life on Mars, we each have power to create our own new paths, even it the face of uncertainty.

The human spirit of discovery once seeming impossible is noe within reach.

Let's keep looking forward and building a future beyond limits 💫
