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.

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.
