At that time, exploring space was a distant fantasy. However, upon discovering the power of science and technology in high school, I recognized it might not…

This marked the first time humans had set foot on a celestial body other than Earth, irrevocably transforming the scope of human existence and the latent considerations of space colonisation. One must consider a plethora of important decisions regarding space exploration. The ethical framework provides guidelines for what is fundamentally right and wrong regarding human resolves in space. Geoengineering,…

Many people believe in conspiracies and theories that can be true but most likely are not. The face on Mars is one of those conspiracies. Many people believe the face on Mars is a sign of alien life. It is a natural landform and there are many reasons why.

Once the first image was revealed many people said there were no markings due to it…
