Mars – Sunday 25th July 2021

I have previously written about Mars (can be found at fionamycloud.com).
Earth has to have plentiful volcanoes dotted about the planet in order that the releases from the interior are kept within safe limits for the surface. Although they often may present serious trouble to their immediate vicinities, it would be catastrophic to surface life for a handful of volcanoes to perform the task of many.
Mars has no need for numerous volcanoes. There can’t be any fossil fuels, if there were it would be evident. Mars has to exist very quietly, relying only on what resources are already present from its infancy. If life did manage to commence there, it can only have been brief.
Mars would also have a magnetic field but so weak it would be likely indescernible. Magnetic fields require energy and fuel to maintain and there is no need to do so on Mars.
I tend to look at Mars as the disabled sibling, due to a terrible and unforseen accident early on, it was robbed of its intended future and has to live out it’s days as it currently does and must do. I find it tragic and sad, all that would and should have been, as it has on Earth was just ended, just as it was set to bloom.
And if it had of bloomed, we would have been looking at a very different Mars and formed a very different understanding of our solar system.
