Pratchett and Baxter primarily The Long Mars in different fields of literature. Baxter has written in fields of ' hard science ', The Long Mars speculation and alternative history. Although Pratchett has written some science fiction, he is primarily known for his fantasy series of Discworld novels. Although both authors spoke publicly about the outline for the novel, no public readings of any material were given something which Pratchett frequently did at The Long Mars conventions. Inthey planned only two books but following the completion of the first draft of the first volume in Decemberthey split it The Long Mars two, and presented their publishers with a plan for a pentalogy. The "Long Earth" is a name given to a possibly infinite series of parallel worlds that are similar to Earth, which can be reached by using an inexpensive device called a "Stepper". The "close" worlds are almost identical to "our" Earth referred to as "Datum The Long Marswhile others differ in greater and greater details. All share one similarity: on none are there, or have there ever been, Homo sapiens - although the same cannot be said for earlier hominid species, especially Homo habilis. The books explore the theme of how humanity might develop when freed from resource constraints: one example Pratchett has cited is that wars result from lack of land, and he was curious as to what would happen if there was no shortage of land or other resources.

Long Earth Series3. The Long Mars | Sir Terry Pratchett The fourth planet from the Sun, Mars is a dusty, cold, desert world with a very thin atmosphere. This dynamic planet has seasons, polar ice caps, canyons, extinct volcanoes, and evidence that it was even more active in the past. Mars is one of The Long Mars most explored bodies in our solar systemand it's the only planet where we've sent rovers to roam the alien landscape. NASA currently has three spacecraft in orbit, and it has one rover and one lander on the surface. India and ESA have spacecraft in orbit above Mars. These robotic explorers have found lots of evidence that Mars was much wetter and warmer, with a thicker atmosphere, billions of years ago. Ten Things to Know About Mars. Mars orbits our Sun, a star. Mars The Long Mars the fourth planet from the Sun at an average distance of about million km million miles or 1. One day on The Long Mars takes a little over 24 hours. Mars makes a complete orbit around the Sun a year in Martian time in Earth days. Mars is a rocky planet. Its solid surface has been altered by volcanoes, impacts, winds, crustal movement and chemical reactions. Mars has a thin atmosphere made up mostly of carbon dioxide CO 2argon The Long Marsnitrogen N 2and a small amount of oxygen and water vapor. Several missions have visited this planet, from flybys and orbiters to rovers on the surface. The first true Mars mission success was the Mariner 4 flyby in At this time, Mars' surface cannot support life as we know it. Current missions are determining Mars' past and future potential for life. Mars is known as the Red Planet because iron minerals in the Martian soil oxidize, or rust, causing the soil and atmosphere to look red. Humans to Mars. NASA's latest robotic mission to the Red Planet, the Mars Perseverance roveraims to help future astronauts brave that inhospitable landscape. While the main science goal of the Perseverance rover is to look for signs of ancient life — it will be the first spacecraft to collect samples of the Martian surface, caching them in tubes that could be returned to Earth on a future mission — the vehicle also includes technology that paves the way for human exploration of Mars. Robotic explorers, like Perseverance, have long served as pathfinders to get humans into space, to the Moon and, eventually, the the surface of the Red Planet. No other planet has captured our collective imagination quite like Mars. In the late s when people first observed the canal-like features on Mars' surface, many speculated that an intelligent alien species resided there. This led to numerous stories about Martians, some of whom invade Earth, like in the radio drama, The War of the Worlds. According to an enduring urban legend, many listeners believed the story to be real news coverage of an invasion, causing widespread panic.
