Mars holds enough water ice that warming the planet would produce an ocean roughly one mile deep across 40% of its surface. Most of that ice sits under a dust mantle outside the polar caps. Geological evidence indicates liquid water once existed in volume. As the solar system cooled, the atmosphere thinned and the remaining water froze or was lost. That inventory is not theoretical. It is a measurable resource base for any sustained presence on Mars.

Elon Musk on the real goal for Mars: “It’s not about just landing on Mars and doing flags and footprints. It’s about creating a self-sustaining city on Mars.” The most important moment in human history will be when Mars becomes truly self-sustaining - when it can grow and survive on its own, even if Earth stops sending ships If resupply from Earth is still required, then we haven’t created real life insurance for humanity When Mars becomes self-sustaining, the future of life as we know it will forever change

🚨MARS EXPRESS ORBITER RELEASES STUNNING VIRTUAL FLYOVER OF RED PLANET The European Space Agency's Mars Express Orbiter just dropped the most accurate view yet of what it's like to fly over Mars. The video shows Xanthe Terra, a highland region near the equator, including the 62-mile-wide Da Vinci crater and Shalbatan Vallis, an 800-mile outflow channel that scientists believe once funneled water into a planet-wide ocean. The footage was created using a mosaic of images from the orbiter's High Resolution Stereo Camera combined with topography data to construct a 3D view. Mars Express has been studying the Red Planet for 20 years, creating the most comprehensive map of its atmosphere, examining moon Phobos in detail, and tracing features showing liquid water once flowed freely across the surface. NASA recently said Mars once had "rivers, lakes, and possibly an ocean" before transforming into the desert it is today. Source: New York Post

On the first anniversary of the start of the current summit eruption (Episode 1), lava is fountaining once again at Kīlauea (Hawaiʻi ) -- Episode 39 has begun! The episode began at about 8:10 p.m. HST. Both the north and south vent are fountaining. As of about 8:45 p.m., lava fountains had reached 700 feet (210 meters) in height. There are three live cameras with views of the activity: V1: V2: V3: Other information about the ongoing summit eruption is available at and the latest map of the lava thickness since the sequence started one year ago is at

MARS TURNS GREEN: ELON’S VISION IGNITES Elon Musk on terraforming a cold world “Mars begins with a challenge: a thin atmosphere—about 1% the density of Earth’s—mostly carbon dioxide. Early settlers would need life support. But over time, Mars could be terraformed—made Earth-like.” Musk explains that warming Mars is the key. Beneath its dusty surface lies vast frozen CO₂ and water ice. Raise the temperature, and that CO₂ evaporates, thickening the atmosphere. On Mars, global warming isn’t a threat—it’s the solution. Mars sits roughly 50% farther from the Sun than Earth, receiving less than half the solar energy. Yet evidence suggests it once had liquid oceans. Today, the planet remains rich in ice—so much that, if warmed, Mars could form an ocean nearly a mile deep covering 40% of its surface. This isn’t science fiction. It’s planetary engineering. Musk reframes terraforming as a deliberate, step-by-step transformation—unlocking frozen resources to turn a barren world into a living one. In doing so, he points to a future where humanity doesn’t just adapt to planets, but reshapes them. Source: Elon Musk

MARS ROVER FINALLY KNOWS WHERE IT IS For five years, NASA’s Perseverance rover has explored Mars while relying on Earth to precisely confirm its location. Earth is up to 140 million miles away. That means a 5 to 20 minute signal delay one way. Now NASA has enabled a system that lets the rover match surface images to high-resolution orbital maps. It can determine its position on its own. In real time. On another planet. This upgrade means less downtime, more driving, and more science. No waiting for instructions. No 40-minute “turn left at the big rock” exchange. It lays groundwork for the autonomy future human missions to Mars will require.

🚨🇺🇸MORGAN FREEMAN TO ELON: WHY MARS? (AUG 2014) Morgan: "What about Mars makes it even plausible?" Elon Musk : "Mars is similar in a lot of ways to Earth. One could call it a fixer-upper of a planet. It is possible to establish life as we know it on Mars. If you were to warm Mars up and convert the carbon dioxide atmosphere to oxygen, which plants do naturally, over time, we could make Mars look a lot like Earth."

13 years ago, NASA's Curiosity rover made its dangerous decent to Mars! The culmination of years of work, Curiosity safely landed in Mars's Gale Crater at 1:31 am EDT on the 6th (10:31 pm PDT on the 5th) of August 2012. Since then, Curiosity has learned so much about the ancient habitability and the potential for life on the Red Planet. See how engineers are finding ways to make Curiosity even more productive today:
