A small, cold planet with a thin, unbreathable atmosphere and no magnetic field to protect it from deadly solar and cosmic radiation – yet we are endlessly fascinated by Mars, can’t wait to get there in person and in the meantime have been sending spacecraft to explore it on our behalf. Mars is covered with rocks, craters and ultra-fine toxic dust, but there is strong evidence that water flowed there in the past – so did life evolve there and could it be there still? With the successful landing of the Perseverance rover last month, our interest has been piqued even further, ready to take the next big steps forward in exploring Mars.
