Mars: The Red Planet-Nisa and Mualla

Mualla and Nisa kick off their podcast by diving into space, focusing on Mars—the red planet. With Spirit missions in 2021 by the US and China, Mars has garnered significant attention. It’s often compared to Earth, sparking curiosity about whether its harsh conditions might have supported past or future life. Clues from weather patterns and robotic exploration efforts suggest there may be traces of liquid water or microbial life. Mars has long fascinated humans, tracing back to ancient Roman mythology, where it was named for their god of war and linked to the planet’s reddish hue caused by iron oxide. From ancient imagination to modern technology, Mars continues to inspire curiosity and discovery. Thanks for listening!
