PLAN AIMS TO FIND MARS LIFE ON THE CHEAP
Six probes would penetrate the planet’s surface and sample soil for microbial life.
A new mission to Mars would follow up on Viking results.

Mini-sensors sent into Martian soil could detect a single molecule of DNA.

And Now, an Elephant on Mars
Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Elephant of Mars, as spotted by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

i’m in love with the cosmos

can you feel the energy of the moon?
can you? focus, try to understand and interpret
what it’s trying to communicate to you.

“hello, you can see me?”
and all the planets seen and unseen,
the sun and the moon, within further eyes reach.
oh they put your soul in bloom,

be influenced, what they’re communicating to you.
your soul.

this cosmic connection,
grows and grows.

now.
that’s magic child.
