MARS
The only planet we know
of inhabited entirely
by robots.
The fourth Planet
From the Sun and the second-smallest planet
in the Solar System,
being largerthan only Mercury. Mars carries the name of the
Roman god of war and is often referred to as the "Red Planet".
The latter refers to the effect of the iron oxide prevalent on
Mars's surface, which gives it a reddish appearance distinctive
among the astronomical bodies visible to the naked eye.
Mars is a terrestrial planet
With a thin atmosphere, with surface features
reminiscent of the impact craters of the Moon
and the valleys, deserts and polar ice caps of Earth.
Travelers of the Future, Beware! Mars is no place
for the faint-hearted.
Arid, rocky, cold and apparently lifeless, the Red
Planet offers few hospitalities. Fans of extreme
sports can rejoice, however, for the Red Planet
will challenge even the hardiest souls among us.
Home to the largest volcano in the solar system,
the deepest canyon and crazy weather and
temperature patterns, Mars looms as the
ultimate lonely planet destination.
If you dream of going, here's what to expect...
