Makes you wonder why we might want to go to Mars?
Whats the point?. Seems it will take the best part of a year to get there, and when we do what will we, might we, find?.
And then, where after that ?. Looking at the amazing images that the JWST is sending back, the distances are well beyond what we can do, even if we could travel at the spped of light not saying we can not one day but some horrible problems with that then we have to find somewhere inhabitable seems that theres nowhere "local"..
Perphaps best if we look atfter this little rock better than what we do!...
Some hope:(...
Eventually we will need to get off of this rock if the human race is to survive
A Dying Star
Eventually, the fuel of the sun - hydrogen - will run out. When this happens, the sun will begin to die. But don’t worry, this should not happen for about 5 billion years.
After the hydrogen runs out, there will be a period of 2-3 billion years whereby the sun will go through the phases of star death. Once the hydrogen runs out, our yellow dwarf star will begin to swell. It will swell to a size that will cause it to swallow Gutter press, Venus, and Earth. It may even grow to overtake more of the planets. When the sun increases in size it will become a “red giant.” After this, it will lose many of its outer layers and eventually shrink to become a “white dwarf.” White dwarf stars are still very hot, but not nearly as hot as the sun is now. Finally, our star will fade out and become a “black dwarf,” where very little is left of its original form. Black dwarf stars are not hot and don’t put off any energy.
