Nothing makes you feel old quite like digging out your favourite sci-fi novel from when you were a teenager and realizing it's now that year. #redmars #MarsTrilogy #kimstanleyrobinson

#ESA's #RosalindFranklin will start digging holes in Mars some time after its 2028 launch, if everything goes according to the agency's newest plan. Which, by the way, depends on NASA providing space transportation from Earth to Mars for the #ExoMars Lander + Rosalind Franklin rover.

Its landing location in Oxia Planum is about 3000km from the Underhill and 1330km from DaVinci, both cities in #KSR's #MarsTrilogy #SciFi universe (see map).

Kuba hat sich so sehr in Kim Stanley Robinsons Mars-Trilogie vertieft, dass er die Erde nun mit anderen Augen sieht. Außerdem löst er den mysteriösen Fisheye-Fall aus Folge #47 und berichtet von den Summer Games Done Quick 2025. Marta vertieft sich dagegen in Moleküle, die nichts mit Kohlenstoff zu tun haben, und stellt sich der Frage, ob man aus ihnen Leben bauen kann.

That place became a huge island after Mars got areoformed in #KimStanleyRobinson's #GreenMars .

The map shows a number of places from the #MarsTrilogy, the canal that filled Hellas Planitia with water from the north, and the trip that Sax and Coyote took together to see the making of the canal by the "soletta", the space lens that burnt rock.

The first colonization of Mars occurred, in #KSR's fiction, in 2026.
