The Quest to Explore Mars
NASA's technology has advanced significantly since the first Mars mission in 1997. This impressive mosaic, created from 102 images taken by the Viking orbiters, offers a detailed view of the red planet from 1,550 miles away. Yet no human has ventured this close to Mars.
Elon Musk, the visionary entrepreneur behind Tesla and SpaceX, aims to change that. He has devised an ambitious plan to colonize Mars, aspiring for humanity to become "a space-bearing civilization and a multi-planetary species." Musk envisions self-sustaining cities on Mars within the next century, bringing us closer to realizing the dream of humans living on other planets.
