It seems so easy to peer up at the nights sky and wonder "What's all that about...?". Harder still is the journey we have taken to actually discovering the answer. A journey that we are all still very much a part of, today more than ever.
In the year 2020, the human race will be reaching out to colonise another planet. Namely, Mars. For the first time in modern history, our species will be branching out into space to become an all new breed of human. The Martian. Every single life born on Mars will be in a different state of evolutionary balance with nature and in turn, small, almost insignificant changes will occur over a series of generations. Causing a split in the path of our two species evolution.
To start with, the lack of pollution and small organic life will have a huge effect over time on the immune system and life expectancy of your average Martian. Whether for the better or worse we are yet to see. Other than that, diet & exercise will have dramatic effects on their metabolisms & muscle structures so keeping healthy will be a major priority to fending off the negative effects of evolution and preventing the rise of a lesser human sub-species. After all, this mission is set in place to progress the human race, not the alternative.
Ultimately, the steps we have taken today will have an incredible effect on our entire future in this, our universe. Who knows, in a few thousand years time we may be so different to our Martian cousins that we forget we were ever related. That way we'll have the Aliens we always dreamed of...
There's still time to apply for the Mars colony. Follow your dreams. Reach for the stars!
