You have been locked inside the spaceship for nine long months. It has been a long, hard journey but now it’s over. You have landed. You are about to set foot on Mars.

For centuries, humans have watched this planet. They charted its strange path through the sky. Because of its red hue — the colour of blood — they associated it with the gods of war. And then, when telescopies made it easier to examine it more closely, some people though they saw cities, canals, and cultivated land on its rough surface. Mars has inspired generations of scientists and engineers, writers and poets, artists and filmmakers. But no one before you has been here. No one before you has seen what you are about to see.
