NASA’s Perseverance rover has found evidence of an ancient, now-dry river on Mars.
Scientists believe the river was once one of many that fed into a lake in the now-dry Jezero Crater on the planet’s northern hemisphere.

In a first for Martian water science, NASA’s Perseverance rover has discovered geological evidence of a large, fast-moving river in Mars’ ancient past. The high-energy river once emptied into Jezero crater, which the rover has been exploring since early 2021, and is a totally different water system than anything seen previously on the red planet. … Continue reading "Perseverance Finds an Ancient, Fast Flowing River"

Space junk is dangerous and not just in orbit. The more people around planets and celestial bodies the more garbage will accumulate and pose a danger those traveling and working in space. Therefore, we need to find practical and social ways to deal with that debris and responsibly deal with the threat our actions pose to each other. In space cause and effect can be separated by months or years.
The same historical factors that caused the American gun culture will be present in space. Everything in space is dangerous and can be weaponized including your ship. Personal defense is a basic human right and will be even more important when expanding into the galaxy.
Space is the ultimate high ground. When your enemy controls the orbitals you lose.

China's Zhurong rover has discovered proof of liquid water on Mars after exploring sand dunes in the Utopia Planitia area
https://newstarget.com/2023-05-05-china-mars-rover-finds-proof-liquid-water.html
China’s Zhurong rover has found proof of liquid water on Mars. There’s a widespread belief that water in Mars currently only exists in solid form in rocks and as a gas in water vapor, but this new discovery suggests there is a liquid variation, too. A paper published April 28 in Science Advances elaborated on […]
