SCIENCE is what you do when you want the truth about a thing but it's too dumb or inanimate or imaginary to tell you.

I did a survey counting the number of deadly aliens on Mars, and they're forcing me to say it's zero.
So come visit and bring your flesh!

In 11 million years Mars' moon, Phobos, will crash into the surface of the planet. So, there's something to look forward to.

Promising to send astronauts to Mars is the same as promising to kill some astronauts.
During his Inaugural Address on Monday, President Trump again promised to launch U.S. astronauts to Mars. He linked landing on the Red Planet with Manifest Destiny, but left many of the specifics unclear. Here's what we know.

I’ve been on Mars waving my one arm around for 12 years and let me tell you that it is ACTUALLY VERY EASY TO NOT GIVE A NAZI SALUTE.

Shark Week on Mars is boring. They just lie there in the dirt flopping around and dying of several evolutionary incompatibilities.

PSA to my friends in California near the fires: breathing in wildfire smoke is really bad for you (even if it’s not super thick where you are) but if you have face masks (N95, KN95, etc) those can help a lot

If Carl Sagan could stand on Mars right now, he'd look back at Earth and, with his trademark eloquence, say: "Ackkkkkkk Gluuurrrggg!! Hissss! Pbthhhhh…"
And then his eyes would explode and there'd be an awkward silence. That man sure knew how to capture a moment.
