Some great pics from Mars showing the crashed Beagle probe and back shell from Perseverance smashed on the surface, among a few other bits and pieces that have smashed, crashed or otherwise littered Mars

EDIT: Fixed link, sorry!

    Sensationalist headline. But, yeah, most of this “junk” will be historical sites someday. The difference between history and junk is a fine line. Roman junk all over the place ;)

      I agree, I think the final resting spot of Ingenuity will be a sacred historical spot and well visited by tourists in 200 years! Or at least, I hope it is respected as such.

          We will exist. We will just have rapidly evolved into humanoid roaches capable of surviving the harsh heat and radiation from the fallout.

    You didn’t link a map or an article, FYI. It’s just a single photo of the perseverance backshell.

    That’s what humans are good at. Leaving trash every where they go. Once our environment is too toxic from all the trash we pick up and go some where else to turn that place into a toxic hell hold as well.

    If some how we make it to mars we’ll just be fucking up that planet too.
