#Astronauts 👨🚀 travelling to #Mars would encounter #radiation ☢️ levels higher than humans have ever experienced, and be exposed to them for much longer.
To protect them, the #spacecraft would either have to be much bulkier, making launches expensive and difficult, or be made of more efficient #shielding 🛡️ materials. https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/space-missions/how-will-humans-survive-the-journey-to-mars

Two years ago, NASA's Curiosity Mars rover captured this feathery iridescent cloud after sunset. The color is created by diffraction effects when sunlight is scattered by small CO2 particles in the cloud.

Not to spoil the novel's plot, but Nazis where on the #Moon way earlier than Nazi Musk was even a molecule in this world, according to #Heinlein. They didn't fare well there, either.
So, Musk & Co are now trying a #Mars grift…

The Perseverance rover captured some pretty massive dust devils earlier today. That large one in the foreground was at least 300m high.
EDIT: corrected height estimate from 500 to 300m.

Here I add my manipulated version of it for easier comparison with the others. Look at the original - it's north up, not south up. The old astronomical convention was dropped. Longitudes go from 0 to 180 east and west from the prime meridian (still using the 1840 version of zero longitude). Our familiar names are on display. Compare Syrtis Major's longitude here and on the previous map - this one is 10 degrees too far east. Oops! #maps#Mars
