NASA’s Curiosity Rover landed on Mars 9+ (Earth) years ago on 6 August 2012. It is the oldest ACTIVE rover of the 3 currently exploring Mars. Its newer NASA sibling, Perseverance, landed on Mars on 18 February 2021, so it is only beginning its work. China (PRC) beat both Russia and the ESA (European Space Agency) in a successful landing of their Zhurong Rover on 15 May 2021.

The longest operation of any Mars rover was the NASA Opportunity which landed on 25 January 2004 and remained working for 14.3 (Earth) years. Its demise was due to a massive dust storm that reduced its solar panels to uselessness. Although NASA put it into a precautionary hibernation mode on 12 June 2018 before the storm got bad, no further contact was made and NASA declared ‘Mission Complete’ on 13 February 2019.

Astronomy paid my wages for ten years or so, so I’m not an enemy of it. I’m as curious as anybody.
But it pretty obvious Mars is dead.
Even if life was there once, it isn’t there anymore.
If rich Democrats want to farm that planet let them.
I’d rate get Fusion power, and cancer problems solved first.
Our sun increases output every year so much so we probably will not have oceans in a Billion years or so. We are gone by then.
Well be inside the sun in about 5 billion years( red giant stage) plus we wiil be crashing into the Andromeda galaxy that will be a mess.
And you Democrats are worried about my personal car and its emmissions.
