or terrifying... aside from NASA's exploration, both musk and bezos are in the race for colonization of mars. they both have monopolies with seemingly unregulated immense power. musk has the power to crash stock markets and cryptocurrencies simply by opening twitter, he could have caused that manipulation whilst taking a shit. bezos owns amazon, twitch, the washington post therefore having a massive influence on the world's media. bezos also has affiliations with the pentagon. plus there's no shortage of evidence showcasing that amazon's worker conditions or policies aren't often based on humanitarianism. the 0.01% of the world (7 million people) have gained more wealth than the bottom 50% since 1980. the concept of putting 1 million people on mars is eerie when you take into consideration those 1 million aren't likely to be normal people but billionaires who can afford to go. leaving billions of people behind on earth and either bezos or musk having successfully colonized mars. historically with colonisation there's always exploitation, as there's nothing to exploit on mars the exploitation would likely be on earth as bezos and musk have an undeniable influence on society globally with their monopolies and power they hold. amazon own ring doorbells, the video and audio captured by them can now be used by the police in the usa with 0 warrant. amazon arguably have the largest private cctv network because of this in terms of global warming we have +- 7 years before the damage is irrevocable and it'll cost trillions to slow down the damage we've already caused. bezos and musk could be spending the billions they're investing into the colonisation of mars into the preservation of earth but they're not. that to me is concerning. why would they not want to opt to preserve a planet they know life is sustainable on rather than attempt to colonize a planet we're yet to prove life has ever inhabited. amazing isn't the adjective i would opt for, my personal choice is concerning. the exploration by NASA is amazing and exciting but the independent colonisation by billionaires is terrifying

Another random fact : Many portrays Uranus as a planet that's on its side but most of you probably don't know that Pluto is more tilted than Uranus, while Venus is upside down.

I still like to think that our species started on Mars. We groomed Earth to be our emergency “go to” and when that emergency happened, we fled Mars to Earth. We had it set up, we had the technology to foresee the destruction we faced, but didn’t have the time/means to send plans/equipment ahead and we had no other way out because at 100k years ago we saw something we didn’t like, or what was happening on the planet. Possible Armageddon already happened to our species and we managed to survive Astronauts when in the ISS take on what would be a Martian sleep/wake cycle. It’s not that hard to believe either, considering we have lost past technologies many times before (burning of the library of Alexandria as one), how far fetched is it to believe that we lost the technology when we fled, we were forced to start over, we had our craft, but that was it, an emergency escape capsule just to continue life with a few dozen people. Over the initial generations here, we forgot about technology and focused on growing the population again, effectively starting life/technology over. I love the theory of evolution too but we don’t fit into it perfectly, what about the missing link that links us to the apes. Just a thought, a wild one, but we have seen much more crazy ones at play before.

Fun Facts: Mariner 2 is still in a solar orbit. Save for an encounter with another larger planetary body, it is likely in the same orbit and path that it took to get to Venus in 1962. Mariner 9, the first spacecraft to go into orbit around Mars in the early 1970s, is still orbiting Mars. It has been shut down since the late 1970s and is predicted to enter the Martian atmosphere sometime in the mid to late 2020s.

Elon Musk may be infamous for missing deadlines, but his company SpaceX's achievements have been truly outstanding and awe-inspiring. He was repeatedly told that landing and reusing stage-1 and 2 rockets would be laughably unattainable. The aforementioned claim was thoroughly bitchslapped into orbit.

No, they're not outstanding nor "awe-inspiring". SpaceX is overrated. Musk wasn't told that stage 1 and stage-2 landing is not doable. He was told that it's not economically viable. There's a difference. There was a rocket that landed in 1993 or something like that, the McDonnell Douglas DC-X. Nothing was "thoroughly bitchslapped into orbit". We don't know how viable his rockets really are right now because SpaceX is private.

I still remember one theory that a moon or large body asteroid/comet fell within the grav limit of Mars, and was shredded by internal failures into a cloud of smaller asteroids and a couple of big honking chunks. Everything small that fell blew craters all the heck and over one of the hemispheres (I think it was the southern? Whichever side is the one that's not relatively smooth and now looks like the surface of the moon). All those impacts stripped off a good portion of atmosphere, but the killing blow was two or three giant chunks that not just smashed into the planet, but punctured the crust like bullets into an apple. Same theory suggests that those giant shards might have disturbed so much material going in, that they disrupted the core bad enough it stopped spinning (maybe even ripped it up so it was less dense and couldn't form a field anymore) and the pressure waves that traveled through Mars coalesced on the far side. All that kinetic energy had to vent somehow, so Mars ended up bulging there... creating the Mons volcanoes. And the same internal-stress-venting additionally caused the planet to physically split a bit, to widen so as to accommodate and release the wave pressure.. making the biggest stress fracture in the solar system: the Vallis Marineris. Not so much a water-made canyon, but a spot where the orange-rind of the crust split because something pushed from inside where it shouldn't have. Same theory also suggested the opposite hemisphere was so much smoother and so much lower than the impacted side because the same pressure basically flicked the crust off that side of the planet and into space. Kinda like of you roll a marble into another marble: the impactor stops or slows, and the impacted, now with kinetic energy, resumes the movement. Except it was a continental plate. And it went straight up. Lol.

I remember reading that theory! It kept me up nights, pondering the sheer scale of it all. The energy of the impactor would've rung Mars like a bell, a shockwave punching straight through the core while another rippled along the surface, meeting in the opposite hemisphere in a cataclysm of collapsed magma chambers and fractured crust. Hellas and Tharsis are roughly antipodal, as are Argyre and Elysium (the other big basin/volcanic plateau respectively), and I'd imagine the explosive violence of their formation just obliterating the northern hemisphere, making the entire north polar region just one big ejecta basin. Still conjecture, sure, but *awesome* in every sense of the word. It's my go-to example when friends scoff at my "boring" or "geeky" hobbies, describing mayhem beyond even Michael Bey's wildest dreams. Ha!

@@jamesjoy7547 that's exactly what i was thinking. The only way we'll ever know for sure if that's what happened would be to witness it happen again, elsewhere. But the planetary physics works out, as far as I've found. That 'rung like a bell' analogy works perfectly. Just see this Shockwave rippling through the mantle and coalescing on the far side in a massive burst of violence...
