Then last year, yet another paper described how a Martian meteorite contained evidence of volcanic convection in the Martian mantle. All of the robotic activity is, of course, laying the groundwork for sending humans to the subsequent planet more than. “So, in terms of threat of gear damage or crew safety in extreme environments, we mitigate these risks quite efficiently,” Leeb stated. The agency has a growing list of analysis projects underway and...
