Unmanned spaceprobes have flown to Mars

On Tuesday, 9 February 2021, unmanned spaceprobe Hope United Arab Emirates entered Mars orbit.

Yesterday, on Thursday 18 March 2021, the rover Perseverance of American spaceprobe Mars 2020 also landed on Mars.

They were both launched from Earth into outer space in July 2020.

Space is in again, and has so now been for a couple of years. In 2024, NASA plans to return to Moon

I'm super interested in this Mars mission as I need a new wallpaper for my laptop.

Kind of missed its orbit, I think that joke would be a more successful lander if they were asking one of Uranus' moons instead of Mars.

That Titania is such a prude, though... And good luck getting past her husband.

All jokes aside, this is damn exciting. The only shame is that everything happens at a (perceived) snail's pace and we'll be long dead before anything really earth-shattering comes of it.

Well this is unfortunate. I would've liked to have been aboard. I've had about enough of this planet.

The fact ice was only discovered on the Moon about a couple of years ago should tell you how far away we still are from doing more significant stuff in space. So far, Man has only been able to step foot on the Moon. And that was several decades ago already.

I don't think we'll be able to step foot in Mars any time soon.
