ancient Greece to trillion dollar corporations today. Humanity has made incredible advancements in the space program since its conception.

strong. Not enough to sustain human life. But with lack of atmosphere fighting the energy back, the sun rays make an easy entry into the sand planet. Every astronaut will have their own home.

They will be able to shower regularly and dress like they would at home. At first arrival of humans, wearing a…
