Africa: Ancient African Bedrock Reveals the Violent Beginnings of Life On Our Blue Planet: [The Conversation Africa] You have probably seen the images of the surface of Mars, beamed back by NASA's rovers. What if there were a time machine capable of roaming Earth during its remote geological past, perhaps even going right back to its beginnings, beaming back pictures of similar quality? http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TQ6qXd #Africa #AncientGeology #EarthHistory #MarsExploration #LifeOrigins

¿Crees que Blue Origin debería buscar una exención de la FAA y reprogramar el lanzamiento del New Glenn pese a los riesgos meteorológicos, o sería más prudente esperar a condiciones óptimas para evitar desperdiciar recursos, especialmente con la misión ESCAPADE y su importancia científica?
Show Yourselves Martians! – Pavel Klushantsev
ANNOTATION
This book provides an overview of the mysteries and explorations of Mars. The Red Planet has fascinated humanity since antiquity. The invention of the telescope only deepened its enigmas, particularly with the discovery of the so-called ‘canals.’ This led to the idea of Martians living on the planet in science fiction. But is there really life on Mars? Do Martians exist? What are the canals? To answer questions like these space probes from the USSR and USA started the exploration of Mars in the 1960s. Going to Mars is not straightforward and reaching Mars is an engineering and technological feat. Ever since then we have continued our explorations of the Red Planet. We now have sophisticated rovers on the surface of Mars and orbiters in orbit around Mars. In the last few decades our knowledge of Mars has improved in leaps and bounds with new discoveries shedding more and more light on the mysterious planets past and future. This volume presents an outline of these explorations, a journey that continues to advance the bounds of human knowledge with hopes that one day humans will inhabit Mars.

Translators Note
One of the first books that I remember reading was All About the Telescope by Pavel Klushantsev translated to Marathi. The book got me fascinated about science in general and astronomy in particular.
So, when I saw this book by Klushantsev on Mars only available in Spanish, I could not resist from translating it. Though I started the work on this some years back, it was never completed for various reasons. One of them being the complex nature of typsetting in the book. So for this book I have used Scribus for typsetting and the results have been pleasing.
Since the book was written, our knowledge about Mars has increased by leaps and bounds. I have added an additional chapter in the book that summarises the various spacecraft since the 1990s that have taken our knowledge of Mars to the next level. The Martian surface has been revelead unprecendented detail with numerous rovers and orbiters around it. The attribution of images in the last section is provided with the images.
We now have active rovers on the surface of Mars and orbiters around it sending us vital information about the Red Planet. All this with hopes that humans would one day land there. It is to those future astronauts this translation and additional sections are dedicated.
